One thing you didn't mention is the option of taking photos of someone doing an activity. (Although this is far from guaranteed to work, I took a really nice photo of my mom cooking and she hated it because it made her look angry, so I deleted it.)
an old boss of mine had had a professional career doing environmental portraits, and was at times quite good at it; since we were working in environmental journalism, at first i didn't quite get what an environmental portrait should be; of course it is a portrait of a person in their environment, and it opens up tremendous possibilities for illustrating who a person is
while i'm not much of a portraitist, i do feel like shooting environmental portraits can help cut through the awkwardness
