From candid and spontaneous to posed and beautifully processed, this weekend we went digging for wintery portraits that’ll help thaw those creative juices and encourage you to go shooting in the snow!

The collection of 25 photos below represents just a tiny drop in the bucket (or should we say, flake in the snowstorm?) of the amazing snowy portraits you’ll find if you go looking through the 500px archives. Our only goal was to pick a diverse set of stunning shots so that, no matter your photography preference or style, you’ll find something in here that speaks to YOU.

Enjoy and let us know what you think in the comments at the bottom!
