As I mentioned in my previous blog post yesterday, Barcelona is an incredible band based in Seattle. Yesterday I posted a few Polaroid frames from their shoot, and today I'll post a few digital favorites. It was raining for the entirety of this shoot and I love the viby'ness we got from it. As photographers I think we can make the rain "work for us." I've learned to do that as I shoot through the fall and winter months in Seattle. I call all of my California photographer friends wimps because it is always rainbows, sunshine and butterfly's over there :). But the truth is you can't always re-schedule a session and their are times when you just have to roll with it and make it work for you... and sometimes it can truly make your shoot even better. This would be an example of how we let the foggy/wet mist set the tone for the entire shoot and it really worked for what we were going for. The band's music kind of has an introspective-rock feel to it so this weather aligned perfectly. A lot of photographers ask us what we do when it is raining too hard etc. Often times we will just pop in a local coffee shop/restaurant/store/bookstore/pub etc. and work with the window light that we have available to us. It's important to get out of our comfort zones sometimes and take life as it comes. If it rains... so what! You've got to have the confidence to know that you can still rock a shoot and deliver with excellence. So next time it rains, go for it... get out of your comfort zone and shoot anyway... you'll make amendments to make it work for you because that is inevitably what we do when we're uncomfortable... we ADAPT. This is a great example of that. If you want some happiness today check out these guys on iTunes... you wont be disappointed.
