These look like composites, to me. Multiple more or less sharp exposures stacked up, possibly the same exposure stacked on top of itself, slightly offset and blurred. This is one image. Duplicate layer, rotate and shift it a little bit. Duplicate THAT layer and blur it a bit. Now make the topmost (blurred) layer translucent, and the middle (shifted/rotated but NOT blurred) layer translucent, adjust curves to taste and flatten the whole mess down. Boom, instant art.

thx for answering amolitor,
i think these 2 photographers did it with only one photo ,since it are mostly live situations with moving objects and persons.
Also if you're holding your cam in hand , you can't easily make 2 identical photos of the same object from the exact same perspective.

They may be using flash as well, with a slow shutter speed. This will take the sharp "flash" image as well as a blurry/moving picture in the same frame, since the light of the flash is (more or less) instantaneous. This one was done that way, in camera:

don't think they 're using flash constantly, the situations are often quite personal in which you can't flash your model or from great distance.
There must be a way in photoshop to do this.

thx amolitor

Well, I told you how to do it in photoshop..

My first sample was done in gimp, in about 5 minutes, using a single image.
