angle; artist fills the height of the page and gives an
element of status. Busy shot, appropriate electronics
in the back, speakers + rack etc. Posed shot, artist
looks deep in thought. No eye-contact, though artist
definitely has his attention somewhere, looks âdeepâ.

readers can feel comfortable if the model looks
comfortable.
