Rain Photoshoot

I dragged out my rain set for a whole weekend this time. 12 fantastic clients posed for me in the rain. I had a vareity of aerialists, models and fitness competitors.

Thanks to my assistants that weekend Mike, Emily and Scott without you guys it wouldn’t have worked.

Rain Photoshoot

I managed to get a rain shoot in this spring before the big lockdowns hit. These are always so much fun and every model brings a little something different to the shoot. I’m hoping to do another one this summer.

Rain Shoot with Fitness Couple Kristy and Rob

Fitness couple Kristy and Rob came in for a fitess shoot in the rain. We’ve worked together many times before and they were both prepping for shows, so they came in great shape. We did a little video of the session, thanks to Jacob Marsh Photography for the video.

Fitness Photoshoot in the Rain

I brought out my rain machine again, but this time for fitness work. I had six fitness people come in during the day, they were all different fitness levels and we got some great images. Special thanks to my assisants for the day Reid and Tim, they shoveled a lot of water. Also thanks to Samantha Lynn Makeup who did 5 of the six women on the day. It was a really fun day, the water was cold, but the models were brave.

Dance in the Rain 2.0

This time setup went much faster and smoother. No pipes broke on setup, so it was a good morning. I had lots of different dancers, all different ages and styles in that day and even one of my fighter friends. Assisting on the day were Kevin and Rebecca.

Rain Dance Photoshoot

I had an idea for an indoor rain photoshoot with dancers. I thought about the project for a bit and decided to build my own rain machine with my friend and fellow photographer Stephen Yule. We built the basic premise in the aisle of a Home Depot. On the day of the shoot my Fanshawe work placement students Lin Wu and Katherine Pinzon worked really hard at doing whatever job was needed. Thanks to Wendy of Wendy Joy Photography for the behind the scenes video.

I had a great group of dancers from O’Neill Academy of Dance to test out the rig and the lighting. We got some great pictures and a lot of good memories were made.

We used back lighting to great effect on these dance images.

The front lit dance photos were good too.
