Would you guys help me with my first couple shoot for a friend ?

Our take

Embarking on your first couple shoot can be an exciting yet nerve-wracking experience, especially when it involves capturing genuine moments between two people and their bikes. Your approach of keeping things spontaneous and focusing on interaction is a wonderful idea, as it often leads to the most authentic shots. As you prepare for this shoot, consider exploring composition techniques and natural posing ideas that encourage connection. Embrace the opportunity to create memorable images while also allowing your artistic instincts to guide you.

So, few weeks ago I was at a gas station taking photos of passing cars when a guy on a motorcycle stopped nearby. I asked if I could take some shots — he liked them, asked to use some of my other pics for his finals project.

Now he asked me to do a shoot of him and his girlfriend with their bikes. I’ve only done something like this once, but he was really okay with the fact that I'm a beginner. We’re meeting next weekend and I don't want to disappoint him since he was do kind :)

I want to keep things spontaneous — have them interact with each other, walk around the bikes, less posing, and do some "moment" shots ( snapshots? english isn't my first language ) since he liked them and those pictures are my favorite.

I have a few ideas but I think I need some advice.

Do you have any tips for shooting couples ? Composition, posing ideas, things to avoid etc. ?

Thanks in advance :D
