Creative Look Example

Creative looks shine especially well in winter light.
Bright colours always stand out against architectural backdrops, stone textures or neutral winter tones. Saturated red, deep green, royal blue, bold prints or dynamic textures like fringe or leather instantly bring movement and energy into the frame.
This type of look works beautifully for personality-driven portraits or expressive couple sessions.

Classic Look Example

Classic outfits highlight elegance, confidence and status.
Think refined coats, structured knitwear, clean lines, high collars, soft neutrals and winter whites.
They create a comfortable, warm and visually timeless look. Perfect for family shoots, engagement sessions or city portraits.

A Bold Look for a Couple

Contrast palettes — cream with forest green, black with metallic accents, leather paired with soft knitwear — instantly create a modern and expressive visual effect.

A Bold Look for a Woman

Statement coats, leather pieces, textured sweaters, striking accessories or bold hosiery become strong focal points in winter compositions.
