It is the exact same shoot its just been retouched somehow to make the light much softer.

How would you do this?

Also in the very first picture in the "befores" her leg is completely blown out then in the retouched images its been replaced?
Same thing with her hair.
And same again on the shorts.

Pretty good retouching.

I actually think it's the other way around... I haven't seen any articles using the "after" pictures. To me they did something funky to those images...

I'm actually noticing that the images in your first link are quite soft

Now that's odd!

Ok now im home and playing around with the images in photoshop.

I seem to be able to get very close just desaturating then moving the white point in levels. Also i had to mask in different white points in different areas.

To be honest i dont know which is the before or after.

It's just a curve, try something like this...



That should take care of the blown out look and for the other color casts you can get them with a hue/saturation layer.

Your looking at this back to front. The retouched images have been "retouched " again!
The soft light ones are retouched from raw and the others ones are just further manipulations, blowing out the highlights etc.

Take  the decent version duplicate it in overlay mode and lighten with a curve. Then you will see that lookbook version with horrible  highlights and  higher saturation.

Alrighty then, back to the photography forum to figure out how to get the lighting in the original shots lol

Thanks for the info.
