So
after having very pleasant spring weather in Paris and Provence, I
headed to the Camargue for the last three days of my trip and it began
to rain, rain, and rain some more. It rained pretty much the whole time.
Not just little drops. It came pouring down. Three days straight. In
the South of France. Some shoots were even cancelled. Especially painful
was the sunrise shoot which was spent in a van waiting for a couple of
hours for the rain to let up and then going back to the hotel when it
didn't. Ah the glamorous life of a photographer. In the end, it turned
out to be a blessing. For just enough time, at the right time, the rain
would let up and this lovely soft light would surround us. It also meant
I was able to achieve my "white on white" vision. This is how I
pictured my photographs before I left for France. If we had had
beautiful sunny days and intense blue skies, I wouldn't have been able
to achieve it. Nature knows best after all.
These moments
captured are among some of the most amazing moments of my life. The very
first shoot required quite a bit of faith. My heart was racing from the
moment it was explained that the 25 horses that would be running toward
me would only swerve at the last second, but that rest assured, they
would. I took some deep breaths and opened myself up to the experience.
And what an experience it was.
