Environmental Portrait
Click here for some examples
An environmental portrait uses the surrounding “environment” or setting to tell the viewer about the personality, work, passion, joy, and love of the subject. You will have to get to know your subject, find out what their passion is, discover the most interesting part of their personality, choose "environment" that reflects that personality, the combination of lighting and composition that best enhances that representation, and finally, put it all together in an environmental portrait!
