8 Tips for Photographing Kids in the Snow by Cathy Mores

5. Use snow for reflected light in open shade. In our CONFIDENCE workshops we’re always talking about looking for open shade. The snow acts like a giant white reflector, instead of green grass or a neutral surface (like a parking lot or playground). This reflects that solid sheet of brightness back up onto our subject, which is like holding a piece of paper underneath your chin and taking a photograph. (try it, it’s fun!) With the reflected light from the snow, our subject is illuminated softly and evenly without harsh shadows and squinted eyes.
