Environment



“We generate our own environment. We get exactly what we deserve. How can we resent a life we've created ourselves? Who's to blame, who's to credit but us? Who can change it, anytime we wish, but us?” Richard Bach

Anatomy of an Environmental Portrait, Frank Van Riper, Washington Post, "http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/05/09/AR2006050901061.html"

This article breaks down environmental portraits. He talks about how the environments the subjects are placed in can show just as much character, emotion, as the subject themselves. He also gives tips in this article with working with available light within different environments and the jump from analog to digital.

With trying to continue my project from last semester, I want to begin working more closely on the environment of the subjects I'm shooting; making the environment they are in just as important.
