As much as I love closeups, I think the environmental portrait, although not as impressive on a cellphone as a computer screen or TV, gives a much more accurate depiction of reality. It shows the scale of the subject as it relates to their environment and gives more of a sense of being there. Of course, the more environment you show, the more distracting elements there are in the scene such as branches, twigs, highlights and whatever. But that’s life in the forest.
