What is Environmental Portraiture?
Environmental portraits are portraits that are different than what you might shoot for a graduating senior or for a corporate “head and shoulder” photo session. These are mostly studio portraits and are typically shot with a simple background. The person is often the only element in the photo.
The best environmental portraits include visual information to show why that person is being photographed in that particular space. Environmental portraits can be anything from simple vacation photos to more elaborate portrait assignments that take on more of an editorial slant.
Various elements can make up a good environmental portrait. These include subject and background relationships (environment), the use of wide angle lenses and quality of light.
