Every time the rain begins to fall, I feel as if nature is giving us a chance to reset. For me, rain is not just a weather phenomenon — it’s a symbol of cleansing and renewal. When the drops start to tap against the ground, they seem to wash away all the fatigue and negative thoughts, bringing back harmony and clarity. Rain is about life, its cycles and rhythms, reminding us that after every "rainy" period comes a time for growth and transformation.
This series of photographs was born on one of those rainy evenings when the weather itself called me to step outside and capture the magic of the moment. Autumn has always inspired me with its color palette — from deep greens to warm golden and brown tones. But it was the rain that added a unique atmosphere to this photoshoot, bringing a sense of calm, mystery, and reflection.
As a photographer, my goal is not just to capture an image, but to convey an emotion, a state of mind. During this photoshoot, I immersed myself in the atmosphere of nature. My model, enveloped by the rain, seemed to become part of it. I wanted to convey not just the physical impact of the rain, but also its metaphorical meaning — how it touches us not only on the outside but within.
Technically, this photoshoot required a special approach. I opted for a low exposure to emphasize the soft light created by the rain clouds. A long exposure allowed me to capture the gentle movement of the raindrops, while the model’s light dress became a bright accent against the dark backdrop of nature. This contrast created an effect where the model seemed to blend seamlessly with her surroundings.
For me, as a photographer, rain is one of the best sources of inspiration. It offers so many creative possibilities, bringing dynamics and emotion to every shot. And it’s not just about the visuals. When I work in the rain, I feel how the process itself washes away any tension, immersing me fully in the present moment.
Autumn is a time of preparation, a time for reflection and contemplating new steps. Like the rain, it reminds us that sometimes we need to give ourselves a break so we can come back with renewed strength and energy. Every rainy day is an opportunity to slow down, to think about what truly matters, and to prepare for new heights. This rain inspired me to create something new and meaningful with this photoshoot.
