GIVE SIMPLE DIRECTION AND CREATE VARIETY
Relaxed standing | Ask them to stand comfortably and breathe out before the frame.
Small turn | Invite a slight turn toward the light, then pause and check comfort.
Seated portrait | Use a stable seat and ask for a comfortable, unforced posture.
Hands | Offer a simple option: resting together or lightly holding a jacket.
Expression | Have a brief conversation; photograph both a small smile and a neutral expression.
Gentle movement | Invite a few slow steps if the location and mobility allow.
Close portrait | Move closer for expression while keeping a flattering, natural perspective.
Environmental frame | Step back to show useful context and leave space for a wider crop.
