looking for help on how to achieve this look

I found this photographer/graphic designer on Instagram.


Here is a sample and I am desperately attempting to figure out how he does this, I live in southern California and I would love to create similar images:










Any help would be great!

Thanks in advance,

Hello and welcome.

Duplicate your original image layer. Turn off original layer.
We want to be able to edit the blur at any time so convert the duplicate/copy layer into a smart object.
Add a Motion Blur smart filter and adjust.
Select the provided mask that is added with the smart filter and mask out any subjects or materials you don't want blurred.
