Leaving Behind the Floods and Shame

First, view extra detail LARGE!

I’ll leave this up to you to think of a story… the title hints at my thought process on this. Anyhow, this day was perfect because we were wanting it to rain for this shot, but instead there was a light fog rolling on to the water behind him which looked even more epic in my opinion! With the clouds parting some at this moment, it just became quite glorious!

Well, I have posted links to my other web connections below, I am thinking of making some behind the scenes videos in the near future, maybe towards the end of June or early July! I wanted to post links to these resources because those are where I will post links and such to keep you updated! Also expect some great posts this week, I got to shoot a bunch of really fun stuff in the last couple days!

    Rob, this is wonderful! I love the scenery- the woods, the water, and the fog. Excellent location! I also love the irony of his apparel and current state of being drenched.

    hehe yeah, he wanted to wear that jacket out afterwards but I insisted upon using it in addition to the white shirt for the photo... I wasn't going for wet T-shirt contest and we both agreed it turned out much better!

  15. hiding in shadows (23 months ago | reply)

    What an idea! You created such an amazing atmosphere here.

  16. She's Six Steps Off [deleted] (23 months ago | reply)

    Good call Rob- that would have totally took the photo in a different direction haha :) It turned out wonderful!

    I've wanted to do a similar shot for my time traveler series, but I just can't commit to ruining a good suit, haha

    Brilliant work, Woodcox!
