About this work

This photo shows two people sitting in a sleigh on a snowy path. Tall trees line the road, and the ground is covered in snow. In the distance, there’s a flat, open landscape with a few small trees and hills. The sleigh riders are bundled up, facing away from the camera. The light looks soft, making the snow look almost glowing. Next, check out the technique: chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create mood in photos.
