The monsoon season paints the world in a vibrant new light. Lush greenery, glistening streets, and the pitter-patter of rain create a magical atmosphere perfect for capturing breathtaking photos. But don’t let the downpour dampen your photoshoot spirit! Here at The I2studio, we’re sharing our top 5 tips to turn the rainy season into a backdrop for unforgettable rainy season photography:

Don’t shy away from back lighting! Raindrops illuminated by streetlights or sunlight peeking through clouds create a mesmerizing, almost ethereal effect. This technique adds depth and drama to your photos, especially for portrait shots.

Rainy streets transform into shimmering mirrors. Utilize this by incorporating captivating reflections into your photos. Capture couples sharing an umbrella under a neon-lit cityscape or a model lost in thought, reflected in a puddle.

Don’t let bulky umbrellas obstruct your vision or your photos. Opt for clear umbrellas or stylish raincoats that complement the outfit and add a touch of modern flair.

The rainy season offers unique movement opportunities. Freeze raindrops in mid-air using a fast shutter speed or capture the flow of water cascading down an umbrella with a slower shutter speed.

Rain evokes a range of emotions, from playful joy to a sense of calm contemplation. Choose outfits and locations that complement the mood you want to capture. A couple twirling under an umbrella in a park conveys a different vibe than a lone figure lost in thought under a streetlamp.
