Environmental Portraits

An Environmental Portrait is a portrait and then some. The student must focus on the subject and the environment around the subject. In the best photographs the viewer learns something about the person from not only their body language, dress, etc, but also from their surroundings. Students are asked to establish a foreground, middleground, and background in their photographs. This forces them to consider the entire environment and how it relates to the subject.
