As we don our fuzzy socks and cozy sweaters, we are watching these photographers' YouTube channels to see how they are getting into the winter and holiday spirit.

Toms Jurjaks

Tom Jurjaks is a photographer with a special interest in nature and wildlife. His goal with his YouTube channel is to teach his viewers that the adventure, mood, composition, and environment is far more important than the gear used. He shares a bunch of “point of view” videos as well as gear reviews. In the video below, he is on a snowy walk, making images with his Sony Alpha 6000 and Sony 85mm f/1.8. Great inspiration for wintery days!
