Play with the wind!

Think its too windy to shoot or model? too much rain? Nah. Work with your surroundings and whatever nature brings you. If you are a model or aspiring to be one, use these days to practice outside. When modeling, you never know what situation you will be thrown into, so knowing that you can pose on a windy, cold or rainy day will only help you in the long run. Photographers the same. Though portrait sessions may allow you to pick and choose the perfect day, weddings and commercial shoots do not and you have to be prepaired for the best and sometimes the worst. I learned this lesson very quickly. Most of the weddings I shoot are out of my area. So it may be beautiful and sunny here in Hornell, then appear as though the rath of God is coming down upon the location of the wedding. Always pack your gear for any possibility. Remember. The perfect shot doesn't always come with a sunny day and a smile, so get out and utilize what mother nature is throwing our way.
