Yesterday we shot some executive portraits for a firm that could be classified as ‘environmental portraits.’

Truth be told, I used to think an environmental portrait was a portrait done to promote or show off a green attribute. Silly me… An environmental  portrait is “executed in the subject’s usual environment“:

… as opposed to a portrait in a studio:

Yesterday’s portraits (coming soon) were environmental as they captured the exec’s in an environment they like to be as well as promoted the environmental side of their business.

Stay tuned for a sample of yesterday’s work.

Next week we will be teaching more about ‘environmental portraits’ on our Natural Light Portraits Photo Course.
