Any of the Orlando photographers I know would probably have given their right arms for the opportunity to shoot with great dancers.
I had that opportunity, even though the shoot didn’t go quite as anticipated by the client.
The shoot was planned around photographing beautiful fairy headpieces for Freckles Fairy Chest. We had 3 gorgeous models. Everything was great.

And then the rain started!!! Being one of the more experienced Orlando photographers, I knew that the weather in central Florida in mid-summer is not something to be excited about… It rains pretty much every day. But that day it was pouring rain!! But it did not stop us!
The rain started right about the time when we were ready to leave the house and go to the planned location! We had to change the plan… I always wanted to shoot in the rain, but never was brave enough – I was afraid the rain will ruin my camera, I was afraid that the model will be not very happy to be in the rain… That day I stopped being afraid 🙂 I had my assistant (my little girl) who held the umbrella over me, I cut a small hole in a big Ziploc and pulled it over the camera, made sure the model was really ok to dance in the rain and off we went. Right outside of my studio! :-)))
I was thrilled with the result!!! And so grateful for everyone who actually made these shots happen!
And I am seriously thinking of incorporating my old traveling piano in my next photo shoot with a dancer! If you know some brilliant dancer – e-mail me tamara@tamaraknight.com
