Wakefield commercial photographer: location portrait photography
Environmental portraiture or shooting on location portrait photography is one of my favourite things to do. I love to capture the subject in their own environment away from the studio. Don’t get me wrong, I love studio shooting, but there’s always a challenge when working on location. Determining where to place the subject for impact and drama is my first step in creating an image, followed by lighting and choice of lens. While I usually go for a mid range telephoto, such as the 70-200mm, I sometimes may go ultra wide for impact. I do like the telephoto lens though, for its ability to isolate the subject from the background while still giving a sense of place. Here are a few images from a recent shoot with the crew of the Yorkshire Air Ambulance
