Environmental Portraiture

[PWS-Staff]

Arrange to create a portrait of someone in an environment that relates to his or her style of living or work for this assignment. First, talk to your subject and come up with a spot that makes senses -- that will tell your viewer something about your subject without using words. Next, figure out the time of day you need to shoot; the light should be just right, illuminating both your subject and the environment. Post your best shots here.

This was an assignment that took a while to do because I wanted to find the right picture. I took a road trip this past weekend to a wildlife park. On my journy I came across this park employee that was educating a group of people about cobra snakes. Now even though I am not a big fan of snakes, I still like getting photos of them time to time. No adjustments where made to the photo. Yes, a telephoto lens is a must when I am photographing those snakes.
