[Thread] All through this week, I shall post portrait images I have made over the span of last ten years or so. 1/n 
Portraits are usually mugshots / headshots with the person looking into the camera. They are often planned images, created by adjusting the situation, setting and light.
May be I'll add some detailed commentaries and background to these images, letting them span into branches.

Some portraits are environmental in nature. Meaning, they are'nt mugshots, but images of people in their natural environment: their workspaces, homes or places where they normally tend to be in. Environmental portraits can say a lot more about a person than a regular portrait.
Some places yield extremely well for environmental portraits. I couldn't have asked for better light, better background, better setting and of course better model. Everything was just perfect.
