Enviromental Potrait [Smiles]

In an Environmental Portrait the photographer uses a person's surroundings to help show the viewer the character of the subject. Though the subject is the most important part of the picture, props or even facial expressions can help tell a story. When taking this photograph I made sure to make the camera seem invisible, when i took the picture my subject had no idea. I love candid photography. To capture the essence of a person's personality in a photograph is an extremely rewarding experience.

My friend portraed in this photo has a very bubbly and outgoing personality. She is full of smiles and enjoys life to its fullest potientail. The lighting really highlights her personal glow and captures her candid smile.
