I have been confused by the term (or is it label) "Environmental Portrait". As I look through this thread I see everything and anything and I'm still confused. So, what's a poor boy to do? Google it of course.

What is an environmental portrait in photography?
Somewhere in between candid photography and studio portraiture is the environmental portrait: a shot that captures a subject at work, at home, or in another important location. Environmental portraits combine a meaningful setting with basic portrait photography skills such as posing and lighting.

Well, hey, what the heck... there it is! Another interesting point of view. Learn something new or be more confused everyday!

All the best,
Mike

Thank you. I notice there are quite a few other quite specific W/NW portrait threads here... portraits, street portraits, portraits (not street), etc.

I would say that this is an excellent example of an environmental portrait. Well done!

Hi Mike, I understand you and your “confusion ” and fully agree with your words.

For me to understand what a good environmental portrait is we should look at Vince’s photos posted in this thread. And of course there are some other good examples.

In my opinion, which perhaps could be wrong, it is not enough to take a photo of somebody in a place to make a good environmental portrait. It could be a good photo yes but not an an environmental portrait!

Thanks for your input

robert
