Try nativity scenes of all shapes and sizes wherever you can find them. You can get very creative with lighting, angles, point of view, depth of field etc. Plus your little models will hold perfectly still for you so you don't have to rush.
Or do some online research into the customs of other countries - I bet you could find inspiration in their traditions (e.g. I grew up in Bavaria without a Santa. We had a "Christkind", instead - think of it as a baby Jesus in the form of an angel).
Not exactly a very concrete example, I know, but might be enough to spark something in you. |
