What To Photograph During The Christmas Season:
Christmas Lights & Ornaments:
Christmas lights and ornaments are the holiday decorations you'll find in nearly every Christmastime photograh; they're a staple, but they're also a cliche staple. You'll want to find ways to utilize them in inventive ways - extreme close ups or just having them dominate the frame where the "subjects", the people, populate the background to give dimensions and suggest depth.
Capture the Preparation Stages:
Families come together at holidays, but not just for the amin event, they come to help decorate... and these are exciting, fun-filled moments, so they're ripe with photoraphic opportunity! Trimming the tree is a special moment in creating the atmosphere of Christmas, and most families have a cherished collection of ornaments, lights and stockings - all of which need to be hung on the tree.
Make that Griswold family Christmas light show look as amazing in photos as it does in real life. "It's a beaut Clark!"
