Overall, I like how these photographers include quite a bit of background, as it helps the viewer to understand the subject in great detail. The background also adds to the narrative qualities of the images, helping the viewer imagine the subject's story, life or situation. Most of these photographers also chose more of a documentary approach to environmental portraits, rather than a commercial approach, which I personally prefer, as I get the feeling that it's a slice of life and more realistic.
