Lighting on location can often influence the way a photograph is taken. A technique often used in location portraiture is adjusting the aperture to obtain a shallow depth of field. This throws the background out of focus and allows you to shoot in dimmer lighting conditions as the shutter speeds at an f-stop of around f5.6 with be fast. It is also common for photographers to shoot in manual focus whilst doing location portraiture as it allows them to get a sharp focus on the subject's eyes or face. A key part of getting a good portrait image on location is to ensure that the person in the photograph is comfortable and that you are interacting with them. This will make the image seem more natural and the image will appear less stiff and set up. Many photographers work with a tripod when shooting on location - an example photographer is Alec Soth. Examples of his work are below.
