About Environmental Fashion Photography

OK, this group is about non-studio portraiture, whether it's outdoors or indoors. We're looking for high-quality commercial/editorial/couture fashion images with backgrounds that contribute mood, feeling, color and emotion to the portrait. The photos should not have been taken in a studio and the model should be the focus of the picture. Remember that there's a difference between a landscape with some people thrown in, and a portrait that uses the environment to enhance the emotional response.

All types of lighting and modifiers are welcome, as well as natural light only. Headshots are ok, but if the background is not visible or appears to have been taken in a studio environment, it will probably be removed. Although I love the genre, this group is not for candids, street portraits or street photography, so those types of images will be removed as well. It should be clear when the model is actually 'modeling' for the photographer. Regular sweeps of the pool will be made to keep the signal to noise ratio high, repeat offenders will be warned and Imperial Storm Troopers will be sent after those refusing to comply.

This group should be used to inspire and give ideas to other photographers who want to do similar types of shots (like me! :D)!

Let's see what you've come up with!
