You can achieve that effect either by blurring, unsharping... making the background out of focus.

Isolate the main image subject on its own layer. Apply whatever appropriate effect on the original layer.

To get the look of the 2nd image you can even the Paintbrush in airbrush mode. Set at a Medium flow and spray BLACK on a third layer above the main subject . Spray just aroundthe image and the rest of the background... Play with layer mode setting, opacity Even Hues & Saturation.
