A typical installation would be the male half of the Standing Committee of the couple behind the woman, kissing her neck, which is reversed. It would have closed the eyes (as he would) and mouth slightly open. This sort of "moment of passion" poses is relatively easy to achieve, but only when your models feel relaxed and at ease with what they do. So how do you make your models feel comfortable and relaxed? First, pull them somewhere they feel at home as their living room or (even better) their room. Ensure that the temperature in the room is warm, and your lighting is soft and warm. A little mood music can also help. Once you have this kind of set-up, the rest is all in your attitude - be confident and direct your models to do what you want firmly and without apology. Once you're in a little shooting your models should go back to what looks good and start to improvise without requiring too much input from you. Periodically, they show the result on the LCD of your camera so they can see how things are and adjust their attitudes accordingly. If you think your model might have difficulty making his way with the kind of look you are hoping to achieve, it does not hurt to carry a book or two pictures that are similar to what you want shoot. This will help your models to understand what to do.
