You can offer a series of images with different poses and positions. Perhaps leaning on a tree or sitting on the couch. Professional backdrops for photography with an eye to appealing to compose shots, so you can get a variety of shots to soften.

Not "Display Background" checkbox but "Use Environment Background"
at the top of Viewport Background dialog

when I open the dialog the checkbox is disabled. What does it? cubemap? never used it..

You must assigne first a map as environment map and check "Use Map".
Then press "Alt+B".
Or simply run this

useEnvironmentMap = on
max background display toggleI did not know that this will be tricky one.
