Your Camera
Better cameras are better, but any camera, phones included, will let you think about the space of Environmental Portraits, and will let you generate an image that might be useful in the future.
Express Yourself
While “headshots” show that you’re human and can smile, environmental portraits show how deeply engaged you are with mechanical engineering, your band, health care, skateboarding, business marketing, communications, etc
Your Environmental Portrait
Enlist all the help you need, or meet up with a classmate and help each other take an Environmental Portraits that you can use on your website. Show yourself in the context of your Engineering, Business, Fashion Merchandising, Health & Human Services, Film, Dance, or other career.
Samples
In addition to the few pix on this page, you can do a Google Image Search for “Environmental Portrait.” You’ll find lots of great images. Sometimes the subject looks at the camera. Sometimes they look at their work. Sometimes they’re in their studio, lab, or office. Sometimes they’re in the field. For your environmental portrait, try to find a setting that expresses your passion, whether that’s about your career, or another aspect of your life.
Blog Post
Post your photo(s) on your WP Blog and write a bit about:
- What you were going for?
- How successful you think you were or were not?
- What you might do different next time?
In addition to your WP Blog post, be sure to add your awesome new environmental portrait to your Wix or other website to make an even awesomer presentation of you and your work!
