The document provides instructions for poses and facial expressions to practice for an upcoming photoshoot, including practical, cheeky smile, comic, and carefree poses. It notes the majority of shots will use direct eye contact with the camera from various angles and locations to have options to choose from. Props of a guitar and chairs will be provided to incorporate into some poses.

1. In order to help you prepare for the Photoshoot, I have listed a range of facial
expressions and poses that I would like you to do on the day of shooting.
Replicate the images on each page in your spare time so you get a greater
understanding of what is expected and can practice to perfect them.
Brief annotations are included to help you.
The majority of shots will be taken using direct address meaning you will be
looking directly into the camera.
On the day of shooting, numerous photos of each expression and pose will be
taken from every angle. This will then be repeated over again for each location so
that we have a wide and varied collection to choose the final images from.
The props will be provided for you.
