Went shooting a young couple yesterday and here are a few results using
the UC Hexanon zoom with Fuji 160S film I got from Jussi:
Here's one I halfway like to make the thread title legal, Konica T4:
Rather than start a new thread, this one is from the Koni Omega 6x7, using expired Fuji Superia 100 film:
shot at f5.6 as I remember
I now know what the guy was reading. lol

Yeah, it's really not fair to include a 6x7 with 35mm shots. lol |

Attila, this isn't building my confidence to send them any pictures. The
light was in and out of the clouds that day, late afternoon. The above shots
with the Konica T4 were wide open at f4 and I metered for ISO 125.
Well, a lot of the young folk look like them. This isn't a ski resort town like
where I grew up.  |

Technically speaking, I'd say that the problem with the photos of the couple is in the lighting, which is diffused and undirectional,
something that does not help with overweight subjects (something I know from personal experience  )
With such subjects a directional light that is lateral and creates shadows and highlights is better in that it reduces the impression of fatness.
The expressions of the faces however it's cute and if I had to choose one I would say #3 because it shows the intimacy and at the same time is towards the camera.
Koni Omega photo has supreme image quality, wow!
Also like the lighting there a lot.

Orio, thanks for the advice, much appreciated. I think this describes a little
of what you're saying:
Contax 137MA/Yashica ML 2.8/28 lens, Fuji 200 (cheap Wallies film)
Paul, thanks, the Koni never seems to let me down.
I took the above Konica T4 shots out of my flickr, so they may go away
very soon. |

Yes, if you notice, the girl looks slimmer just because of the side lighting.
The boy instead is in complete shade and does not benefit from the lateral sunlight contouring effect.
Lighting is (almost) everything...

Thanks, Orio, the boy is a secondary concern if there is lighting for only
one of them. Beth is a big girl, somewhere between 5'9'' and 5'10"
in height, but big girls get their feelings hurt as easy as little girls, and I
want to present her as best I can. I think she has a pretty face. |

You're right Bill, good choice 
Another possible pose that I can think (always with lateral sunlight as in this last photo) could be to put the girl standing in the foreground, to catch all the sunlight, but angled at "quarter figure pose" which would at the same time make the profile slimmer and enhance the breast. The boy could stand partly behind her (to hide part of his belly) and hold her from behind.

Orio, great idea, will try it. Profile shots are definitely out since they show double chins.
I'm going to try a shot above them where they have to look up, that'll do away with the
double chin problem. |
