E.P.s are good because they give you an idea about the subject of which the photo is based upon and make the picture more interesting and complex, without over powering the subject.
Here are two examples of Environmental Portraits:
Some other types of portraits are: Upper-body shots & Close-up shots
Upper-body shots are based from the waist up and box around the shoulders and elbows, they are commonly used for small-medium groups of people and indiviual portraits.
Close-up shots are from the chest up focusing on the face. They are for individual photography or up to a group of 3 people with a wider range shot.
Three rules of thumb for taking portraits are:
-Make sure the subject is the first thing you notice, nothing should take your attention off of them
-Keep the picture simple
-Individualize the picture to make the subject feel comfortable and personal

Excellent!
Please utilize this information when taking and submitting the portraits that are due (there are three ... inside lighting, outside lighting (either close up, torso, or other) and environmental.)
Please move your currently submitted environmental portrait to landscape. (It's a nice landscape, just not a portrait!)
