Really like the lighting, warmth, noise, etc. I have a panasonic GH4, 12-35mm lens, 50mm lens and an external flash. Any advice would be amazing thankyou :)

I'm curious as to what you are looking for, as you seem to have already achieved it, the album, images, and user name are all the same?

especially as the first image is on a number of different social media platforms and appears to be of someone named Travis Scott who appears to be of a certain degree of popularity/notariety*...






*those who know me, will probably realise that Travis Perkins is probably more my field of expertise than someone who appears to be famous for wearing someone elses underwear...

may I suggest that if as I suspect, you've gathered that package of images from the internet and put them into a single flickr account for hosting - your best way of finding out how the "look and feel" of the images was achieved, would be to research the actual copyright owners work - find their name, check their websites, read their blogs - they may give something away - alternatively, they may have a "contact me" option where you can ask them technical questions.

What you REALLY shouldn't do is download a bunch of photos, ignoring any copyright issues, put them into YOUR flickr account (therefore running the risk of the copyright owner coming after you for "passing off" their work as yours. Furthermore, you really shouldn't then post the details of those pictures onto a photography website that takes copyright issues VERY seriously indeed.

If you really wanted info on "how this type of shot was post-processed to gain that look" - then you should provide LINKS to the original images found on the internet, credited wherever possible. At which point, perhaps someone would feel happy to step in and actually give you some pointers...

Inside or outside of your Superhero tights?
 
You go Commando huh? Braver than me :D

To the OP.
I'd give Nik Filters a go. If you hunt you can get the original version free, I have it and I find it quite useful for quick processing effects. You may like the Glamour Glow in the Color Effects filter. One nice thing is that you can apply control points and apply or remove the filter to different sections and control its opacity. It's deffo worth a look IMO, especially as it's free.
 
Point and shoot + on camera flash + 35mm film. Portra 400 or Kodak Gold. Easy.

For digital just use VSCO or any of the other film emulation apps.

Hi !

Great thanks!!! The photographer is actually a family friend of mine, while I did in fact ask him for advice he simply says to just shoot on film and that he will give me some more help when he visits later this month. However i have a photo shoot this Saturday so was just looking for some more pointers before hand from you guys. I did not consider the copyright issues while posting these so I really do apologise. I know decat wouldn’t ‘come after me’ lol. I’ll remove the photos when I’m home later on today.

Yes I could have given you links but as they were from Instagram I assumed this would be easier for everyone. Otherwise you would need to sign in, scroll along the images to the right ones that I asking about etc.

thanks for the advice guys!

Please add the links, I'd be interested to see the original quality rather than downloaded copies.
 
Hard to say too much about them looking on the phone. Looking at the shadows on the images with flash, the flash is to the side so likely the camera was turned 90 degrees or possibly a small flash bracket.

I agree with the comments above it’s really not on to copy someone else’s pics.
 
From the shadows I'd say a flash was off to one side.
May be has a softening/blur attachment.
Fast lens to get the bokeh.
You should check if your camera can do off camera flash with some sync, or your flash can detect a camera flash to sync.
Perhaps try a few experiments on toys (plush big ones) if your using a digital camera.
Perhaps check with the original shooter for settings/lens etc and if they applied instagram filters on the shots too.
 
It looks like you are trying to achieve a vintage film look. There are plenty of youtube videos on how to edit to get this effect. Best to load up the pics on to half you monitor screen and open LightRoom or what ever planform you use and experiment away. Hopefully you can replicate the look or at least get very close to it.
