Scene Festival 2026 🎉
Fashion, Glamour, Rain, Fog and color Lights

About the event

We're bringing back one of our most popular workshop concepts from years past — Glamour in the Rain.

Using a purpose-built artificial rain rig inside the studio, we'll combine glamour and fashion portraiture with dramatic studio lighting, backlit rain and atmospheric fog to create bold, cinematic images.

You'll learn both the creative and technical side of rain photography, including:

  • How a studio rain rig works

  • How to make rain visible with lighting

  • Backlighting and rim lighting techniques

  • Shaping light around the model

  • Using fog to add depth and atmosphere

  • Camera settings for photographing rain

  • Freezing droplets vs introducing movement

  • Posing and directing a model in a rain environment

  • Creating dramatic fashion and glamour portraits

We'll work through several lighting and posing variations, giving photographers plenty of opportunities to shoot and build a strong collection of images.
