What to Wear When the Forecast Is Bad

notes

Bad weather is the best thing that can happen to your photographs, and the worst thing that can happen to your mood. The fix is entirely a clothing problem.

Wool over cotton. Boots you have already broken in. A jacket you actually like the look of, because it is going to be in half the frames. Anything that flies around in the wind is an asset, not a liability.

If you are cold, it shows in your shoulders and your hands, and no amount of editing removes that. Comfort reads as confidence on film.
