Danny Santos Photographs Joyous People in the Rain
Gil Cohen — January 30, 2013 — Art & Design
For his 'Bad Weather' series, photographer and professional people watcher Danny Santos takes candid shots of people in the rain.
While I personally don't enjoy getting caught in the rain, this series of photographs almost makes it seem like fun. Images of people taking their shoes off to run through water-filled roads barefoot, rain-soaked women in pretty dresses crossing the street, friends huddling under the same brightly colored umbrellas and people laughing and running as they try to find shelter are surprisingly cheerful considering the title of the series is 'Bad Weather.'
The joyous and even glamorous portrayals of people in the rain by Danny Santos invoke an excitement and desire to run freely in the rain.
