Environmental portrait photography: This is about the environment in which the person being photographed spends their day to day at. This can be a place of work, hobby, family and even leisure. Examples include, singers in a recording studio, student in a study room, a butcher working at a butchers. These also generally show a bit of culture or class in which that person lives in, showing the history behind the image and the person being photographed.
