A woman was seen posing for pictures out in the rain in the middle of the street during a raging typhoon despite authorities urging residents to stay indoors.

The risky photo shoot was captured by a car passenger who traveled past the woman in Hong Kong.

In the video, the woman is seen dressed in dark shorts and a fitted tank top as she kneels against the asphalt, posing for a male cameraman who squats over a curb with the phone in hand.

Both seem to be soaking wet, but that apparently does not stop their efforts in getting a good picture as the man then gets up and moves closer to his model.

Meanwhile, the woman strikes various poses as she plays with her long, dark hair or raises her arms towards the sky, seemingly reveling in the storm.

The couple, who were filmed braving Typhoon Saola without even an umbrella in sight, baffled other concerned locals.

Typhoon Saola hit Hong Kong, which was once part of China, with immense force, forcing authorities to issue the highest Typhoon Signal No. 10 on the evening of September 1.

The Hong Kong Observatory cautioned that strong winds with speeds of over 70 mph and heavy rain would continue in various areas, urging the public to stay indoors in safe places.

Residents were also advised to stay further away from the shore amidst exceptionally high waves as the region faced one of its strongest storms in decades. Numerous flights were canceled and many businesses and schools were shut down as the Super Typhoon wrecked havoc in Hong Kong.
