When it comes to photographing environmental portraits, it’s your job to apply your knowledge and skills to produce results that your client will be happy with. This introduction provides an overview of the key considerations to keep in mind when working on location and photographing people.

Photographing a whisky sommelier in a busy liquor store, this particular shoot shows how Karl overcomes challenges such as rearranging and styling a cluttered scene, controlling light in a small space, photographing reflective bottles and how to work quickly when your subject only has a few minutes to spare.

In this shoot, Karl was challenged with turning a busy factory setting into something far more suitable for a pleasing portrait. Photographing an electronics worker, Karl had to overcome the challenge of finding a suitable location, rearranging the scene and balancing mixed lighting.

Shooting in a carpenter’s factory, Karl had to work with mixed lighting, combining natural and studio light to create an atmospheric light suited to the location. In this class Karl carefully creates his composition, rearranging elements of the scene to incorporate key details in the shot, and precisely builds up his lighting.

In this environmental portrait class Karl photographs a farrier at work with his horse, working in a dusty stable-yard in bright sunlight. You’ll see the step-by-step process of achieving this shot as Karl shares his camera settings and lighting setup, explaining how to use flash to cut out the excess ambient light.

In this class Karl faced the challenge of creating a bright, fresh looking image in a small, underground basement. Using a simple lighting setup, Karl demonstrates how to overcome the challenge of working in a small space and how you can use just a few lights to create a bright, fresh day-lit lighting effect.
