15 Examples of Environmental Portraits
Here are the results from another great round of Epic Edits Flickr Challenge! #5 was all about “environmental portraits” (chosen by the winner of the last round), and we had another great set of entries. This round was difficult for me to choose photos because environmental portraits share a blurry line with traditional portraits and street photography. Read on to see the winner and the topic for the next challenge.

Bellows factor
One of the problems that arises when using large format cameras is the difficulty in determining exposure when the bellows are extended beyond normal ‘landscape’ use. By that I mean, when you are shooting anything from say, 10ft away to infinity, your exposure will be whatever your meter indicates. However, if you decide to shoot something [...]

Photoshop Technique: Digital Airbrush
Airbrushing is (or was) a process typically used to remove minor imperfections in portrait, model, and fashion photography (among other uses in photography).

Portraits.
Portraits have the potential to be amongst the strongest photographs we ever produce, but often the results are dull and lifeless. Just sitting someone in front of a commercial background and firing a studio flash at him or her will produce a picture of a person and strictly speaking will produce a portrait, but will it [...]
