Types of Portraiture

Traditional

With traditional portraits the person in the photograph is usually looking straight into the camera lens so it looks staged to make the subject of the photo look their best. The background is usually quite formal and bland to make the person stand out even more. The typical location for where the photo is taken is a studio. The body is usually cropped from the photo so you can only see their head and shoulders.

Lifestyle

Lifestyle photos are meant to capture everyday people doing everyday things such as walking or eating meaning they’re the complete opposite of traditional portraiture, instead of the photos being taken in a studio it will be taken i a family home or another familiar place. Often the subject/s of the photo do not pose or at least try to not make it look like they are to make the image look more casual.

Environmental

Environmental photography is a mixture of lifestyle photography and traditional photography. With this type of portraiture the environment surrounding the person plays a key role in the photo. The environment in the photo is meant to tell you about the person and what they’re like or what they enjoy. Unlike lifestyle portraits where the location isn’t important, this type of portraiture’s environment is just as important as the person in the image and the person can pose in the photo.
