04 Skirt Settle
Say this to the subject
“Start still, then make one clean, unhurried movement. Set the shape, relax the hands, and hold the indicated eye line Keep your eyes look just beyond the lens.”
Photographer cue: For this natural movement study, build the 04 skirt settle shape before refining it. Place the subject with a stable base, keep the visible hand action deliberate, set the head and eye line cleanly, and preserve the garment, product, or silhouette objective so the photographer can read the pose without improvising.
