Framing

• 1Position camera directly overhead for floor recline shot
• 2Shoot on the 85mm or 2× phone lens — never wide angle on this pose
• 3Frame from head to ankle — the cropped trouser and heels must both appear
• 4Keep the pale floor neutral in frame — minimum 30% of image should be negative space
• 5Shoot at 45° above for secondary angle — shows the print layout across both garments

Directing cues

• 1"Look directly at me — like I owe you something"
• 2"Your left hand is the only thing touching the floor — everything else is floating"
• 3"The print does the talking — you just hold still and stare"
• 4"Chin slightly forward and down — not up — you're on the floor, own it"
• 5"On this frame: shift the right hand 3cm higher on the hip — there we go"
