“Let your weight settle into one leg and keep the other knee easy. Observe a retail window with hands behind your back Keep your eyes look just beyond the lens.”

Clasp your hands loosely behind your back and stand with your weight evenly distributed. This pose captures a candid moment of observation, highlighting the back details of the denim jacket and hoodie layers.
