    Is it possible for a non-professional to do this? If so, how?

    Hey Sam, Yes I do realize the effect is different but admittedly, I did not know it was more complicated because the first picture from earlier discussions looks more professional/better. That said, as we've discussed trying to recreate blackroom from a white room doesn't really make sense so...

    Yeah black seems like a better call. Can you think of any interesting effects that in your experience do work on white backgrounds in terms of making a subject pop against a white background, especially if they are wearing black, which is high contrast? Maybe motion blurring isn't the best way...

    Yeah there is something about black backgrounds that is appealing...there's a much greater sense of mystique to images shot in black. But I have seen something kind of similar done on white before. Same musician so I assume the same artist worked on it but yeah you're right it doesn't look as...

    To me it's still impressive even if you believe it is very poor considering the starting point but I see what you're getting at: definitely seems like a better idea to keep the white background, wash it out with a gaussian blur so that there is more focus on the subject, and then motion blur the...

    Thanks Sam. I was unable to open the images but for sure I'll take a crack at trying this, probably using the white backdrop as you recommended after I transfer the photos over to my computer. I'll probably dim the white to an off-white/grey just so it's not too blindingly bright. Should work...

    Thanks Am and Sam. So this is cool that we can create a blur effect like this without the need for a super-high end camera in a black room necessarily. That said, you've both stimulated two ideas in my mind that may or may not be seriously flawed. The first is...if I can make this effect, then...

    Hey Agent, What settings did you use for your blur? Simple gaussian with any particular settings? Also, was that image also shot in a black studio room? Thanks.

    Ahhh...thanks for shedding light (no pun intended) on this Sam. I had no idea about this black box room concept before but it sounds incredibly awesome/cool. All I want to do is see one for myself now. Would be a weird experience for the first time I can imagine. Thanks for the insight my...

    Is it possible for a non-professional to do this? If so, how?

    Hi gurus, New here and just wanted to know whether it is possible for a non-professional using PS or Gimp to create a picture like the one below from a picture that was shot in similar pose but in a bathroom with white walls? More than that...how do you get that weird effect where you can see a...
