outdoor portrait

Open-air likeness photograph

An outdoor portrait is a photograph or painting of a person taken outside rather than in a studio, using natural light and environmental settings as backdrop.

The term appears mainly in photography contexts, where outdoor portraits offer softer lighting and more varied compositions than studio work: We scheduled the outdoor portraits for golden hour.
