WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: Environmental Portraits
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Environmental portraits are important because they provide context and deepen storytelling by showcasing a subject within their environment. They can also be used to build trust, humanize a business, and offer insights into a person's lifestyle or profession. Additionally, they can serve as a powerful form of documentation and education, especially when used to highlight environmental issues.
HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: You will follow along with instruction and use what we have learned to create amazing photos!
PART 1 of ENVIRONMENTAL PORTRAITS!

Lighting and contrast will help convey depth.
Black & White should help with the story told in the photo!
Does your subject need help posing? Give them an Anchor point! (hold or touch something...lean up against something)
