Description
I was standing in the middle of one of the heaviest rain I’ve shot on. As always, I was drenched from waist down and I kept my camera as close to the umbrella as possible. I’ve been waiting and shooting for about 30 minutes shooting here and there, but I haven’t really seen anything peculiar… until I saw a woman from afar wrapped with a shawl walking gracefully towards my side of the street. She just stood out from all the others who were equally rushing to shelter. It’s one of those moments when I thought “I HAVE to photograph her.”I positioned myself in her path, crouched down, and took a series of shots until she walked past me. Later when I reviewed the shots, it was then that I realized she was smiling! She probably noticed me taking her picture. Or maybe she just really loved the summer rain. Maybe both… I’m not sure. But I knew I had a keeper.

I absolutely adore this photograph. Everyone else is hunkered under umbrellas or running from the rain and she's strutting down the sidewalk like it's a catwalk, smile plastered across her face, and wearing sandals. Work it, honey!

I need to get the weather to photograph this. I'm too lazy. After I saw your work, I go to the streets in all weathers. This had to be beautiful, then at home when you looked at those pictures. I want to experience it too. Thank you, I go to photograph the streets, just raining.

I love your photos of people in the rain. They're very unique, not something you see very often!

I am SO loving this! The rhythmic of the rain, accentuated by the human movements, turn this shot into a modern poetry. And that smile... wonderful!

This is AMAZING!! I adore this shot! who knows, perhaps you just captured how different she was. I like the fact that she is the only one coming in your direction and her entire ensemble. Its so interesting how almost all the people that are walking the other direction are wearing white and she is wearing black. Its like a balance! FANTASTIC SHOT!!
