Environmental portrait

A portrait that was taken in the subject's home or place of work and was taken in such a way that it gave the viewer an understanding of the subject's personality. Arnold Newman, an American photographer who lived from 1918 until 2006, is often regarded as the founder of environmental portraiture.
