Environmental Portrait ideas

I think Environmental Portraits show the background and the history of the person and that it shows who they are and what job they do or there career. The portrait should capture what the person does. The Environmental portrait can also capture where the person you are photographing is from or where they grew up and taking them to the locations of where they spent their childhoods. It could also represent what hobbies the person likes to do or what they are interested in or it could be a place or an area that they are typically in and reflects what they love.
