Lightroom isn't designed for this type of photo editing; this is what Photoshop is designed to do. Even if you don't eventually use Photoshop, search Google/Youtube for "Photoshop Masking", or "Replace Background Photoshop". There are literally hundreds of tutorials that will walk you through how to mask.

Little late, but here's your answer:

I found the photographer, Mohammad Zia Ali, on Facebook, and came across this incredible video he posted on his post-processing technique using Adobe Camera RAW and Photoshop. Make sure you watch in HD.

    \$\begingroup\$ You might want to describe the actual steps in the video tutorial, since links tend to go stale over time. \$\endgroup\$
