Describe a pose or scene in words

How to write a good instruction

  • Name the position first: standing, walking, seated, leaning.
  • Then the hands and head: “one hand in pocket, looking over the left shoulder”.
  • Keep the product visible: avoid crossed arms over a print or hands over a necklace.
  • For scenes: place, light and time. “Sunlit café, morning, large windows.”
Good to know

An instruction is not saved. To reuse the same pose in many shoots, make a pose photo instead. A preview also shows you the pose before you spend credits on product images.
