ty for considering !

Try to use photos with a solid background if possible or at least where the person clearly stands out against the background. Otherwise you’ll likely have to clean up the clipping mask quite a bit.

1) Open your photo in PS, click the selection tool, and click the Select Subject button in your workspace

2) Now that the main subject of your photo has been selected, make a clipping mask by clicking the Add a mask button in your layers panel

3) Now select your cropping tool, set it to square, and crop to where the edges of the hair or subject are almost touching the edge. 

4) Select your Quick Selection Tool and draw a circle you want the background to be.

5) Create a solid color layer (color doesn’t matter, you’ll mess with the actual background color later)

6) Now select the mask on your circle layer

7) Click Select>Load Selection, and click OK

8) Now click Select>Inverse

9) Click your Paint Brush tool, make sure its set too 100 hardness and opacity, and make sure your foreground color is set to black. Paint out the parts you DON’T want to show.

You can change the color of the background by double clicking the color box on the solid color layer, or you can clip mask an image to it, etc.
