A few months ago I bragged to a few people at a bar about being an amateur photographer, I showed them some pretty basic pictures I took recently and they were impressed (these were basically point and shoots). Over the past week we've chatted a bit and they want me to do a photo shoot tomorrow with them. Truth is I am extremely amateur photographer, as in I know only the very very basics of photography, I've never done a photoshoot before. I don't really know shit about photography beyond how the rule of thirds and some other elementary things. Well fuck. What should I do. Just continue the con and take the pictures tomorrow, let them know I am not as skilled as they are assuming. Any tips, technics to seem like a professional photographer?

If you use a tripod and set up a light or two, you'll seem like a pro. Most people don't know shit, and it's not exactly rocket science even at a more professional level

We're not going to be doing anything too abstract from the sounds of it. The plan is to do the photoshoot at the beach.

Well you did say you were an amateur already. Just go and take pictures, it's not like you promised to give them magic or anything.

Take lots of photos from different angles. Quantity is important. Later, go back and pick only the best ones. Do some photo editing to make them look nicer if you can. That's about it. Learn the basics of lighting, don't take pictures while facing the sun, make sure you're focused on the right thing, etc.
I know nothing about photography but people like the shit I post on instagram. Most people are easily impressed.
