I need some advice on posing people who are awkward in front of the camera.
It's always been my dream to do these kinds of super staged portrait shoots and I've finally built up the confidence to ask some friends to take part in a shoot. However from snapping a few pics of them previously I know that they're kinda awkward in front of the camera and after doing one shoot a while ago I've realized I'm not too confident posing people yet.
Making him wear sunglasses helped a bit, but other than that I didn't really know what to do other than instructing him to just look into the distance and that kind of worked.

Any advice or shared experience is appreciated. I've heard that you're not supposed to micro-manage your subject's poses to make them look natural, but I'm not quite sure how to actually do that.

A professional DP shot this.

Composition is atrocious. The scene is "lit" horridly, making the bad CGI look even more fake. Color-grading is just plain ugly, everything looks plastic.

This triggers my autism more than it should, but I can't be the only one, right?
