I took this photo in an old warehouse in downtown Wilmington, NCTime
This photo was taken in the evening, around sunsetLighting
The lighting in this shot was magical. The sun was going down, and the bare white wall behind me was a perfect reflectorEquipment

Rain and storms had threatened to cancel this shoot, but we decided to go for it anyway. Luckily I knew of an indoor spot in case we got rained out. We had been shooting inside for most of the time when the clouds broke just enough to get the sunset peaking through. The warm light came spilling through this window at just the right moment.Editing

Just stay open to the adventure. Sure, crappy weather happens, but use that as an opportunity to test out your resourcefulness.
