First time doing a photoshoot of a friend

[Statement]

Hi, I really wanted to try to get shots of people, so I asked my friend and she thought it was a cool idea because she's into my photography and all. I'm just not sure what to expect, how to get it going, what type of ideas to do. I just want to get nice, dramatic portrait shots of some kind. Black and white is what I had in mind, tight crops probably, with emphasis on angles and facial expressions. I figured a park was a good setting to start, but I'm not sure how I'll take it from there. Any pointers on how to direct this type of event? Thanks!

Please help! I am leaving tommorow!

Just go with the flow. Have fun. Try various angles, face expressions, poses etc. You're with a friend, so she won't mind messing around a bit.
