I love photographing people on my travels. It’s one of the best ways to capture the human element of a place and create images with a wow factor. Here’s the second in my series of tips showing you how to get the best people shots.

Tip 2: Shoot environmental portraits: use the subject’s environment to help tell the story of who they are and how they live. Make sure the person stands out among all the different elements in the photo.
