information needed on a particular type of photography and editing

[Nicolewinona]

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

Why assume it's editing you need?

These shots use lighting, fashion, and styling to make them what they are, not processing. You mention Cindy Sherman.. you think she used Photoshop?

I'm not saying there isn't any processing going on with some of them, but look again.... it's the styling, posing, lighting etc.

Pretty sure its just the setup with a few bumps here and there, to my knowledge there will be no magic action for it
