I'm doing a shoot as a surprise for a special lady - of her 2 grandchildren. 17 & 18 years, boy & girl. Would love some suggestions for poses for this pair of siblings...going to be on beach, on boardwalk, and inside old whitewashed brick building...IF THIS TROPICAL STORM ISN'T STILL KICKING OUR BUTT TOMORROW!! I don't want too mushy or too silly. Found some ideas on google, but nothing that I LOVE. Ideas? Examples? (and they're black, so again, suggestions about the type of lighting or reflectors to add? I've not photographed black people - and in natural light I know that there are some tricks I need to apply to get BEAUTIFUL results!) She does so many nice things for everyone at work, I want payback to be exceptional!! I asked them to dress SIMILARLY for one (maybe jeans, and white or peach tops), and will also do some in cap & gown for girl. I don't have a flash, other than my "on camera" (Nikon 7100, and a 5100) So...suggestions about settings, please!! And I do plan to take a couple of white boards and my shiny car window reflectors to help bounce a little light.
