I typically consult with clients in advance to find out what they plan to wear and offer recommendations along those lines. That information empowers me to recommend locations that fit in terms of concept.

If the location is already chosen some of things I look for are solid color elements like walls and alleys that fit the concept. Failing thatI look for areas that are neutral in color and offer some texture to work with. Concrete, doors, alleys etc
