Just discovered your work, courtesy of the feature in Southeast Asia (congrats!).
I really love the ‘liberation’ from the backgrounds – it adds such dynamism and vitality to the pictures. If I knew how to do it, I would!!!
Thanks, Denzil – a few years ago, I realized that I had dozens of good, candid people shots that were ruined by busy, distracting backgrounds. So, I started isolating the subject on a blurred background – a fairly easy Photoshop technique. Regards – MS

Marvelous capture !!
Very nice Portrait Michael.
Well done.
Another fantastic shot, Michael. Your isolation technique is very clean. I love this one!
Thanks, Hog – I appreciate the feedback. Sometimes these characters need to be liberated from their backgrounds.
