What is an environmental portrait?
Environmental portraits, sometimes referred to as workplace portraits, are images that show a subject in their workplace, usually undertaking their profession. These are different from your typical business portraits in that they generally show the person doing their work in the typical environment where this takes place, as opposed to just a plain headshot. Environmental portraiture is also very different from lifestyle portraits, which usually aim to capture people doing everyday tasks in their everyday environments.
Camera, equipment, lighting setups & settings
As you’ll see throughout the environmental portrait classes we have, the equipment I used for each of the shoots was fairly standard.
- A camera
- A selection of lenses (I mostly used the 50mm f2.8)
- A tripod
- Two to four studio lights — Profoto battery-powered lights because they allowed you to work freely without having to worry about finding power outlets or using extension cables.
- Modifiers — Reflectors and honeycomb grids
- Lighting stands
Other, smaller, pieces of gear I took with my included reflectors and flags, gels and electrical tape.
When it comes to lighting setups and camera settings, there is no set answer. You can used a different lighting setup for each portrait, and your camera settings varied too.
