I've got a soft spot for environmental portraiture, and this more panoramic format of 12x20 is forcing me to approach portraits differently. Today, I'm taking you through a recent shoot I did with my buddy Tariq Tarey making a portrait of him in his studio space. Along the way, I'm going to dive into my thoughts on environmental portraits, why black and white, how I "scanned" the negative, and show you how it looked in Kallitype (an alternative photographic process).
