Are you planning a visit to Santorini during winter and wondering if a photoshoot is worthwhile?
In the winter the island is significantly less crowded, making it perfect for those seeking an authentic cultural experience. If you are looking for a quieter yet more authentic experience then November, December and January are your months!
Drama
During winter the island’s landscapes become even more dramatic and captivating.
The diffused light reflects on the barren land giving it a new dimension.
There are times when the scenery makes you feel like you've stepped onto a movie set, especially during the early morning and late afternoon, when the sun is low on the horizon.
Softer and more flattering light:
The winter light is soft and diffused lending natural and smooth skin tones without relying on light modifiers or post-production techniques. Clouds act as a natural diffuser, creating a genuinely unique quality of light that evokes a cinematic feel.
While contrast is something that I love and look for in my frames, the soft pastel tones and slightly muted colors of the winter palette are an absolute delight to photograph.
The harsh, contrasting light of summer can challenge photographers with deep shadows and strong highlights, often requiring shoots to be scheduled during morning or afternoon hours.
All the photo spots are yours to shoot:
We have the chance to shoot at prime locations without queues, working at a more relaxed pace.
