Greg Bartell | People And Their Passions: Environmental Portraits

About this Artist:
I am growing into a professional photographer with my completion of this program. I entered wanting to build some skills and prepare to conduct photography tours. In the course, I have discovered a new fascination for environmental portraiture, or the art of photographing subjects who are surrounded by what they enjoy.  Going forward, I want to offer on-location environmental portraits for both individuals and commercial clients, as well as leading photography tours in both the US and Greece.

About this Work:
We all have things we are passionate about…it may be our job, a hobby, an activity, an art project, or a cause we actively support. I believe that a photograph of us engaged in one of these activities reveals us as our most authentic selves. These passions may change over the courses of our lives, but captured in a photo at any point in time, they show us at our best. 
These types of images are known as Environmental Portraits. Here are six environmental portraits of people engaged in doing what they love to do.
