Most photographers pack their cameras away when winter arrives — assuming the light is too flat, the snow too bright, and the season too limiting. I used to feel the same way. But after moving from France to Canada, winter became impossible to avoid… and ultimately, impossible not to love.

If winter photography feels hard, you’re not doing it wrong — you’re just on the brink of discovering its magic. When you learn to work with winter, not against it, the season becomes one of the most inspiring and rewarding times to create.
