An environmental portrait is a portrait executed in the subject's usual environment, such as in their home or workplace, and typically illuminates the subject's life and surroundings. The term is most frequently used of a genre of photography.
By photographing a person in their natural surroundings, it is thought that you will be able to better illuminate their character, and therefore portray a person in their natural surroundings, the subject will be more at ease, and so be more conducive to expressing themselves, as opposed to in a studio, which can be a rather intimidating and artificial experience.

This girl looks happy, vibrant and very pretty. This is environmental portraiture because it looks like it's portraying her lifestyle surroundings (in a backyard or somewhere around where she lives). When I see this picture it looks like she's just might be playing around in her backyard and having fun, the main thing is the girl but the houses behind have bright colours which give it more of interest and the grass and trees behind also make it look more attractive to us.
I chose another photo, this one because this one confused me a bit. I know he is the main thing in this picture, but he has all these amazing views of mountains upon mountains and I don't really know what to focus on, but the photo does look very appealing, say if your a young person wanting to do this.
