question.? I am doing a photo shoot for some friends. I shot their 21 year old son and his girlfriend a couple of weeks ago. They liked the pictures and asked if I would do a photo shoot with them. They are a married couple got married out of high school and been married 27 years. I have done shoots with couples in their 20's but never an older couple. I do candids and some posed pictures but I am not sure how to pose them I do not think I can do the same things I do with couples in their 20's.


Any suggestions.
I guess I will just add that they are not a very touching couple. They don't show public affection. I have never even seen them hug.
Well from the first two questions its looks like I'm the problem in the situation. We are going to go to a very pretty park. It is the same place I took their son to do his shoot. I plan to just walk around with them and shoot candids for the first part of the day and work off of what I see for the posed part.
 
Come up with poses, both sexy and unsexy and other types of poses then ask them what they want to do, if they are comfortable its makes the expierence alot better
 
Excuse me? I'm 21 and this is age discrimination! Let them be sexy! Let them get close! Come off it!

Edit: Well if they saw some intimate pictures of their son and his girlfriend don't you think that's what they want to be a part of a similar experience?
 
1st thing you must do is change your attitude - or you will treat them as old and they wont appreciate that much - it will show in the images


go and study some two person portraits on say flickr, find some poses and offer them to the couple so they choose something they are comfortable with
