Winter is fast approaching. As the holiday party invitations pile up and the leaves finally give up, it’s holiday portrait time. While a set of matching footed pajamas for everyone and Fido can be a cute photo, we’re big fans of adding a bit of winter wonderland with effects.
Artificial flake snow works incredibly well for photo and video sessions as well as set dressing. It even photographs better than the real thing. While there are plastic flakes of snow available, StageSpot carries CITC’s SNOBIZ artificial snow. It has a soft puffed texture, impressive white color, and melts in water. Unlike other water-soluble snow, SNOWBIZ is environmentally friendly and safe should it drain into local rivers and lakes.

Given that this is a “melt-able” snow, it’s not great for outdoor use on wet days. Other than that, it’s fantastic for holiday or winter photo shoots in studios. It can be used as window display snow for winter wonderland effects and is excellent set dressing. It is also available in a larger flake size for falling snow effects. CITC SNOBIZ snow comes in large vacuum packed bags to reduce freight cost and storage size. No need to clutter up the scene shop with big boxes of snow. Once out of the box, this snow can be fluffed up beautifully. It’s recommended that this snow is taken out of it’s packaging about an hour before use for maximum fluff time.
It’s available in several flake sizes:
Fine for set dressing especially great on windowsills, tree branches, and railings
Close- Up: A mix of regular and fine flakes great for ground cover, window displays, and falling snow. It’s the most economical choice.
Regular flakes: These are excellent for the cascading winter wonderland your dance show needs. It’s available in two container sizes, 10 cubic Ft. covers 12’ x 10’ x 1” and 5 cubic Ft. covers 6’ x 10’ x 1.”
Still not sure? StageSpot customers have actually reviewed this product and said, “Exceeded my expectations.” How did SNOBIZ do that? It photographed beautifully, made logistics easy as it cleaned up easily and didn’t collect static like other artificial snow.
If you need to add some sparkle to your holiday portraits, give us a call, snow is just one of the many great ideas we’ve got up our sleeves.
