Drenched, Not Defeated.

Portrait of model and actor Orlando Samseer in a dramatic rain setting, wearing a suit and captured

The story

This photo tells a story of resilience and character. The rain symbolizes challenges and unexpected moments, yet it’s through these raw elements that the strength and elegance of the model shine through. The contrast between Orlando’s stylish presence and the intense, wet environment shows that even in chaos, you can stand out and thrive. For me, this image is the perfect blend of emotion, expression, and visual drama – a story that speaks volumes without needing words.

The making off

You might not guess it, but this rainy photo was actually shot in my backyard! With a black backdrop, a garden hose, and a makeshift rig, we created the perfect rain effect to match the mood we wanted to capture. We had so much fun during the shoot – especially when Orlando was completely soaked in no time, dressed in his expensive, tailored suit. But as he joked, ‘Anything for the perfect shot!’ That dedication and humor made this session not only successful but also unforgettable for both of us, resulting in a stunning addition to our portfolios.
