I was wondering if any one could help me out with a particular type of photography/editing i want to experiment with, i have been researching into influential photographers, such as Miles Aldridge, Cindy Sherman, Nadia Lee Cohen, and i love the way they work.

The examples i will show are some of there work and the style of editing i want to portray in my own work with my own twist, Their work varies from 1920's to 1970's influenced photography and editing.

If anyone has any good websites/ tutorials or any key words i can research to help me create the type of photography i want.

The images have this vivid look with a twist of the time and era filter over the top , and the models are almost doll like, the colours stand out but also very pastel shades, i know a lot of it is about the lighting and makeup but i would be very great full for the advice, any links or videos.

Im not to sure how to attach images.

Here are some examples

yea i think it is mainly that but i can see some form of filter of some kind the colours are so rich but also have either a 50's 60's tone to them.
 
Never underestimate the power of the adjustment brush in Adobe raw.
This tool is great for getting the adjustments you need in the individual areas of your images. It can be time consuming but gives you more creative option before fine tuning in ps.
 
You could get pretty close with just duplicate the layer, change it to overlay blend mode (lower the opacity) flatten it and then bump up the saturation (or vibrance) I don't have any colourful pics here to play with at the moment, but if I can find one it shouldn't be hard to make an action that does a reasonable job.
The originals were probably shot on Kodachrome and under exposed to punch up the contrast and saturation.
