Environmental Portraits are photographers portraits of peoples natural surroundings whilst including the person in the image, instead of being in a studio or with artificial areas.

For me personally I could go out and take images of people in their natural working condition / their natural habitat you could say. I know some people who I personally know and who would be willing to have their picture taken in their working condition. Not only that but even talking to people I know, and asking their favourite activity or hobby etc.

Why do We use These Types of Images?

They seem to show a lot about the person being imaged, and their specific skill they might be “mastered in”. Not only that, but these images show a type of section in life. For example the latest image shown above, it shows a labour worker, who works with metal and possibly electrics, so that links to his personal life but also to everyone else who works in electrics/metals.
