What kind of processing achieves this

Looks like clipped shadows and a contrasty curve setting to me. The 'film effect' comes from the large aperture.

edit: he actually mentions it in the thread.
 
It's either very good use of the available lighting or use of post-production to isolate the subjects.

Thanks Ross!


Thank you. Style is Japanese/Taiwanese and a bit of lomo, actually.;)

It's a combo of camera setting and PP. Set your cam to spot metering and pick a deeply shaded area with streaks of light peeping through anything (building gaps, leaves, etc.). Shoot away if a face passes your light source. For the PP, I play with the the warm tones to get a golden brown hue. Bump up the Blacks and Lens vignetting levers a wee bit to darken the shadows some more, and that's it. All of those are done on CS4 Camera Raw.:cool:
