I was wondering if I could use some of your expertise in helping me prepare for a shoot I'm doing tomorrow.

It is for my parents who with their retirement funds bought a Harley Davidson and a Yamaha Trike. They are both in lates 50's. My dad now looks like a proper Harley rider with the bald head and long beard. Mum is a fairly large lady but up for a giggle. They do ride regularly and really wanted me to do some photos of them with their bikes.

The problem I have is when I search for pose ideas on google I get alot of bikini clad women. I don't think my mum would be up for that. LOL

So if you have any ideas that I could use please please let me know as I am totally stuck.

Thanks :)
 
I like your mom and dads approach to retirement! :D

Keep it relaxed and have plenty of laughs. Vary-the angles and viewpoints and I'm sure the shots will be just fine. A wide angle lens with it's great death of field can produce some dramatic effects if you move in close. Try shooting from a low viewpoint for some of the shots.

Thanks for the advice. I am just really stumped as to how to make them stand etc. I have already told Mum to dig out her thigh length boots. :lol::lol:

LOL Come on where's your imagination get em on the bike - that's the occasion for the shots anyway. Dad on the front wiv his leather gear and mum on the back with her thigh length boots. Low angle shot from the front with mom peering around from the pillion. Have a laugh keep it amusing and vary the angles. :thumbs:

EDIT

You could always do one of simulated sex across the bike? Perhaps not then! :lol:

Thread resurection!

As a motorbiker myself I'd say as well as getting static shots see if there is somewhere pretty you can get some shots of them moving. You don't often get the chance to see yourself on a moving motorbike.

I did this in the summer on a tour of Germany with the lads and they were really happy with some very average shots because they're unusual.
