A messy background can really distract from the main subjects.

There are a few ways you can ensure the backgrounds look better:

1.

Move your subject: If possible, ask your models to move away from a messy background and to a plainer background. The difference is huge!

2.

Move yourself: If you can't move your subject, can you move left or right? This will change your perspective and can move disturbing elements out of the image.

3.

Shoot with a large aperture: If you shoot with a long lens (say, a 100mm focal length) and a decent aperture (f/2.8, perhaps), you can throw the background out of focus quite easily. A blurry background helps the viewer to concentrate on your main subject. Combine this tip with Step 1 or Step 2 for even better effect!
