The environmental business portrait, although gaining steam, is still outside the norm. An environmental business portrait can be created inside a studio, at your office or home, at another indoor location, or outdoors. The difference is simply that instead of being shot on a backdrop, the environmental business portrait portrays you in a natural environment. The environmental business portrait is great for:

• people who are their own decision-makers, such as small business owners or freelancers who don't have to meet company business portrait photography requirements
• a more "natural" look (because really, standing in front of a backdrop isn't what most people do on a normal day)
• people who want their business portraits to help them stand out from the crowd, show uniqueness and creativity, and stick in the minds of their target audience
• people who want to incorporate their jobs into the backgrounds of their business portraits
