    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.

    Outstanding, as always Michael. Documentary and art combined so well.

    By the way…do they not have Pugs in Burma?? :-)

  • Thanks, randm – in three visits to Burma, I’ve only seen one pug. Here’s the link -

    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
