Photograph a portrait that says something about the subject within the framework of their own environment. As always, be creative with your composition and lighting.

Here's one that I did just two weeks ago:
We visited my wife's Grandma (my new grand daughter's "great great Grandma") in her home in order to create a 5-Generation portrait, from great great grandma all the way down to my grand daughter.
While we were there, I talked with her a bit. She had just turned 90 years old. I explained to her that if I wanted to create a portrait of her son, who builds pipe organs for a living, I would visit him in his shop and try to capture an image that would portay him in his natural environment.
So I asked what it is that she likes to do. And she explained how she just loves doing genealogy.
And so, while she had just cleaned up all of her papers (in order for the house not to be messy when we came by for the 5-generation portrait), she did not want to have to get the papers out and spread them out again. However, she was willing to pose while she glanced through one of her many many Books of Remembrance.

That's pretty crazy, I added something very similar yesterday:
A Telling Portrait
Take a portrait of someone whose pose or the shot's set up tells you what they do. For example, you could photograph a fire fighter in uniform or a baseball player mid-stance.
I think I like your description better though. |
