I need to shoot a large number of shoes, and it is important that I replicate the same "pose" for each show. Like this: they all need to be at the same angle to the camera. Is there some kind of overlay feature in Lightroom Classic that I can use when shooting tethered to check the current pose to see how well it matches the ideal?
Yes you can set up and then toggle on and off, a "Loupe Overlay". Originally this just provided a guide grid but more recently this feature also allows you to load a custom drawn PNG image instead. This image will typically be largely transparent, but include whatever coloured subject positioning / sizing graphics you need.
It shows as an overlay, scaled dynamically to fit and fill the image centrally (adjusting itself to continue fitting the image, whenever that is cropped) and thus can act as a consistent composition template.
Note: turn this overlay off before export or print: if visible, these graphics will I think get included in the output!
