Hello, I saw these fantastic photos and I was wondering what wind of post processing he did.

I mean apart from the long exposure to blur the persons how did he create all the white background around the people?

Thanks

It looks like the images were just over-exposed in the camera.  Contrast was also probably bumped in post.

exactly over and over and perhaps a little over exposure :)

grab your camera and go outside and make it 2 or 3 seconds everything is going to be white, magic!!

well right a 2-3 seconds exposure will make everything white but will also burn a large part of the image.
The pictures in Istock are perfect I'm a contributor too I don't think they will ever accept a shot where a so large parte of the image is washed out...

This proves that everything is relative. This photos are great and the overexposed and out of focus areas are intented and add value to the photos.

I am guessing a ND filter would help.

It could also be a blend of two images....

Over exposure and a bit of cross/processing in some of them.

that's probably (or at least mostly) just an effect of a long exposure.  The head will only show where it has been in the same spot for enough time to create some color.. which is probably only half of the head width (if that makes any sense).  If you do a shot with a 5 second exposure, you can walk pretty slowly through the frame and have no record of being in the frame at all.  Walk slower or make it a faster shutter speed and you will be a thin sliver with half a head.

Recently I came across advertising for a super ND filter. Nothing new really, just crossed polarizers which, at max crossed probably offer around 8 stops ND filter. They block a lot of UV light and transmit IR.
