I’ve noticed that too. A unique background in addition to other effects also heightens the “interestingness” of a portrait.

Unusual backgrounds have the ability to make the subject of your photograph really stand out as well as adding to the depth and meaning of the photo itself. Take for example a photograph of a young girl against an old and crumbling wall. The immense contrast between the two changes the nature of the portrait and adds a dimension that can give it a memorable impact.
