pexels-photo-269370-2How glorious does the snow look right now? It’s caused a few days of disrupted work and traffic and it’s certainly not without its risks. But this somewhat unexpected snowy period has given kids across the UK a chance to engage in some old-fashioned cold weather fun and of course, for us photographers there’s the chance to capture the cold snap with our own take. As ever, we’re always thinking about what kind of images might look striking on your walls and it just so happens that snow scenes look amazing on a white canvas. Here’s how you turn the efforts of the Beast from the East into your best snow images yet.

Snow angel family

Who can resist lying down in the snow to make a snow angel? Well, you’ll need someone to do the honours of taking the photograph unless you can rely on a tripod or timer to get the shot. A photograph of the whole family creating a snow angel could be a great personalised Christmas card for next year or a canvas print to welcome visitors in the hallway. To help ensure you fit everyone in and don’t blemish the snow around you, try marking out where each person will lie with a snowball.

Footprints in the snow

Going for a walk in the snow might be a short-lived adventure in temperatures as cold as these but it should provide plenty of photo opportunities. Think about following behind the rest of the family to capture a perfect group shot in the distance. Using HDR will help you to show up the different textures in your snow scene.

Snowball, snowman and sledging action

Hands up who’s built a snowman this week? Photograph or it didn’t happen! Snowman building, snowball fights and sledging make superb photograph fodder. If you can avoid being hit by flying snow! The best shots will get right to the heart of the action to record the pure moments of joy and excitement on everyone’s faces as they play.

Shapes in the snow

Clean, powdery snow is in many ways like an untouched beach, so why not try some of your favourite creative beach photography ideas out in the snow? Use your snow boots to stamp out shapes such as love hearts and you’ll not have something lovely to photograph that will look stunning as a sentimental keepsake on canvas. You could even use the snow as a canvas to stage a romantic proposal. Or why not try a jump shot? Be careful it doesn’t turn into a snow angel photograph though.

Snow falling shot

Close up snow photographs look so magical, sometimes you have to make the snow itself the star of the show. Enlist the help of someone else to help and have them look up so you can photograph the snow falling on their face or try getting them to blow a pile of snow from their hands towards the camera.
