Back when I just started photography as a hobby in Singapore, I used to consistently shoot strangers in the streets of Singapore. I would try and come up with personal projects that would push me out of my comfort zone (as if shooting in the streets weren’t challenging enough). One of these projects was my “Bad Weather” series where I would photograph people in the middle of the streets… in the storm.

So on rainy weekends, you’d see me walking in the middle of the downpour with an umbrella on one hand, and my camera on the other. I always end up soaked, all wet from the waist down, my camera drenched, my feet aching from all the walking… but with a little luck, and a lot of walking, I’d get a few keepers. And it’s all worth it.

As they say “life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning how to dance in the rain.”
