Decide — diagnose the stuck moment
+The director wants a softer, moodier portrait treatment for the hero image and I need to brief the retoucher so the sculpting of highlights and shadows reads consistent across the set. Tell me which three lighting reads I should prioritise in the brief so the retoucher sculpts in the right direction, and provide a short negative line telling them what not to do so the subject doesn't lose their character.
