In the three images above, location portraiture is shown in a basic way - by blurring the background, the viewer is forced to concentrate on the subject and their facial features and expressions. The backgrounds are also reflecting from the subject's clothing, for example, in the image with the snow in the background, the subject is wearing a coat and a hat, emphasising on the cold temperature that she must be experiencing. On the other hand, in the first picture, we can't see any clothing on the subject, suggesting hot weather, which agrees with the beach in the background.
The last two pictures are very interesting. The picture with the girl in a field of flowers does not have a blurred background; this helps the photographer blend the subject in with the scene. Her clothing also helps as she is wearing a flower headband, a summery dress and has bright green hair - this puts across feelings of summer and sets this atmosphere for the viewer. The last picture is a very unique picture, the photographer has decided to add a window between the subject and a camera - this distances the viewer from the subject, almost preventing them from seeing her face as the water running down the window is not letting us see her face clearly.
