Every now and again, Patna would throw a challenge my way. Other times, I’d throw one her way. This particular project, we both came up with the idea at the same time.

Let’s do a contrasting photo shoot between the construction site and her outfit. It was supposed to be a special layout to showcase her new twist on the color purple

Concrete Jungle Shoot

Between the heat of the day, the dust of the site, the noise of passing traffic, once the shoot began, a quiet seemed to fall on the ‘set’.

Aptly called the “Urban Runway”, jokes soon followed as we took advantage of the scenery. Patna was not one to fear giving her input on a shoot. This made the concept all the more fun to photograph.

Others have attempted to do similar shoots with me, however, their appetite for the contrast was not as strong as Patna’s.

The fear of falling off mounds of construction gear or slabs of concrete definitely played into the quality of the shoot. Patna and I got a good workout in during this session.

The Project

Below will be the links to the blog posts that showcase the results of this session. There is a story expressed in one post and the gallery built into the next.

Without further introduction, here are the results of this concrete jungle photo shoot
