Many quality photographs are taken during the winter time. However, in order to achieve that quality photograph you might have to think about the way you dress during that winter time. Some things to think about before you leave your house would be; are you going to be comfortable at the shooting location? Well, to make sure you are comfortable you should dress in a way that you can regulate the escape of your body heat. One way is to dress yourself with clothing that has zippers instead of layers. Zippers allows you to change your body heat without having to hassel with equipment in order to get clothes off. A second essential you should wear would be, loose-fitting and wind- breaking breathing parka material. On the other hand, your pants should be water-shedding, sturdy, and a suspendered bib to keep the heat in. It would be a good idea to concentrate on keeping your head warm considering about 70 percent of body heat is let out through the head. Finally, in extreme cold weather conditions a balalava is essential for keeping your head, and face covered.
Some other essentials that can comfort you on those chilly shoots would be; a wool or silk shirt with pockets. Also some hand warmers that you can keep in your gloves would do you some good. To conclude, besides keeping yourself warm you might want to store extra batteries for your camera in case the batteries get to cold and have a failure.
