Say this to the subject
“Start still, then make one clean, unhurried movement. Smooth down the fabric of your dress with your palms Keep your eyes look just beyond the lens.”
Photographer cue: Stand tall and place both palms on the sides of your hips. Gently slide your hands downward to smooth the silk fabric of your evening dress. This action should be subtle and elegant, emphasizing the texture of the garment and the grace of the pose.
