Studio Portraits Vs Environmental Portrait Photography
An environmental portrait is a portrait executed in the subject’s usual environment such as in their home or workplace. A typical environmental portrait simply will illuminate a subject’s life and surroundings. A studio portrait is a portrait which will focus less on surroundings and more on the individual by using sterile backdrops and props so…
