I don’t normally add a little write up for professional photo sessions I’ve done, but this one felt a little different.

Jasmine is a personal trainer and is looking to grow her business. I came up with the idea of shooting at night in an alley with one overhead light, black and white, for a really dramatic, grungy set of fitness portraits. I wanted to veer away from what we see frequently: more often than not set inside a gym.

Jasmine loved the idea and vibe and was ready to roll with it. I employed the help of Madison to assist with this session.

The night of the session, the skies really opened up.

In our Plan C alley, we were able to have some overhead cover from the intense storm that was building and beginning to unleash all around us. Thunder and lightning were cracking down. Rain began hammering harder and harder as the alley became a wind tunnel.

The energy that Earth was providing us was unreal.

Riding this energy, we leant into what mother nature was giving us. Water was gushing down the incline of the alley at our feet, so we got some cool shots with light reflecting off it. The wind blowing in Jasmine’s hair and the mist and rain that it was picking up made for some really powerful photos- perfect to show Jasmine’s raw power.

Jasmine has worked incredibly hard to get to where she is right now, and I’m so proud that this gallery shows that.
