outdoor scenes

Nature and landscapes

Outdoor scenes are visual compositions depicting exterior settings—landscapes, street views, parks, beaches, or any environment under open sky.

The term appears most often in photography, painting, and film, where it contrasts with indoor or studio work: The director preferred shooting outdoor scenes in natural light.

In art history, outdoor scenes became prominent with plein air painting, where artists worked directly in nature rather than reconstructing landscapes in studios.
