A lot of people don’t know the difference between environmental portraiture and standard portrait photography. In this article I aim to explain both so you can decide which best suits your needs.
Environmental portrait photography is a broad category but can be basically defined as portrait photography in context. It tells more of a story by reflecting said story in the environment around the person. For a professional this might look like being photographed in an office setting. For a family it might be capturing them in their family home. In the case of a musician we might go for a studio or a stage.
Why would you hire an environmental portrait photographer over a standard portrait photographer?
In a world where photography is so accessible, the need to stand out is bigger than ever. A standard portrait will only capture what is visible, for some things this is perfect – an office portrait or headshot. However if you want photos you will look back on to see who you were, how far you have come and to have control over your narrative, an environmental photographer can help you craft this. So whether you’re an individual, CEO or artist; an environmental can help shape your unique branding for life
