What is the best part of shooting outdoors in winter?

The daytime sunlight is gradually getting warmer, and I can feel spring coming.

 

Around Gionsai, plum blossoms are blooming beautifully, a season unique to this time of year.

 

This time"What is the best part about shooting outdoors in winter?"I would like to write about

 

Outdoor location shoots allow you to enjoy the four seasons, but many people may wonder, "Is there something special about winter?"

It snows less and less in Kyoto every year, so it is difficult to take photos with a snow-covered background.Differences in "light"

 

I think the best thing about winter is that you can take photos with a soft, elegant light.

So, the other dayAYA Special CourseI hope you will feel the winter light through the photos of our repeat customers who came to take photos.

Takazawa was in charge of makeup and dressing!

 

↑This photo isNene's PathIt was taken at

Nene's PathThe road is fairly wide, so there are few things blocking the light.

GeishaSince this was a photo shoot by Mr., the white umbrella gives it a clean look.

Here is a photo taken in autumn at the same place.

The contrast with the autumn leaves also creates a different impression.

 

↑This photo was taken at Gesshin-in Temple.

In the summer, the light here is particularly strong, so I often take photos with a parasol, but in the winter, the light hits me from behind, giving a softer impression.

 

↑This photo was taken in front of the gate of Shunkoin Temple.

Even when shot from a distance, the contrast between light and shadow is soft and creates an atmosphere that I really like.

↓The photo I took in autumn is like this (the autumn leaves are also beautiful)

 

 

↑This isKoshindoThis photo was taken on the cobblestone road leading to

In winter, there are fewer bamboo leaves and the green color is softer, so the impression changes.

Here are some photos I took in the summer:

It's a little hard to tell the difference in the lighting (the angle is different, after all), but the bamboo leaves are piled up, and they really do change the atmosphere...

 

↑The last oneKoshindoThis photo was taken at a place where plum blossoms are in bloom.

It is famous for its colorful tied-up monkeys, but it is also lined with red and white plum blossoms, and is very beautiful during the plum blossom season.

The timing was just right, and both plum blossoms were blooming beautifully. The sunlight was shining through them, making them very beautiful.

Plum trees have very prominent branches, so when light like this shines through they look soft.

 

How was it? ?

It's also nice to take photos in the gentle winter light.

Each season has its own merits, so we would be happy if you could come and take photos throughout the year.
