Winter offers photographers conditions that cannot be replicated in any other season. Soft, diffused light reflecting off the snow, frost on tree branches, breath visible on a freezing morning - all of this creates an unrepeatable atmosphere. Winter photo sessions, both professional and those taken with a smartphone, can truly impress, especially when developed on good quality paper.
What Makes Winter Photos Special
Winter photographs have a distinctive colour palette. Whites, greys, and delicate blues dominate, while any warm accents - a red scarf, the orange glow of a street lamp, golden rays of the setting sun - take on exceptional intensity against that backdrop. Portraits taken in a winter setting look very atmospheric, and snow-covered landscapes have something fairytale-like about them. It is worth remembering to slightly overexpose the photo when shooting in winter, as cameras often "grey out" white surfaces.
Developing Winter Photographs
Premium prints on matte paper beautifully convey the calm, cosy mood of winter landscapes, while glossy paper emphasises the contrast between the white of the snow and dark elements of the surroundings. When choosing the format, it is worth considering larger prints that will let you appreciate the details of frosty scenery.
Developed winter photos look wonderful on walls, especially during the period from November to March, when it is grey and gloomy outside. They can also form the basis for creating a winter album or photobook that captures this special season. Order photo prints from this winter and discover how beautifully your photographs look when developed.
