Everyone knows that photos that come out straight out of the cam are dull, even with good make up. So i recently started to coloring in photos like in the 50's and Gil Elvrgen style. It's a lot of work in PS with choosing colors, brushes etc, but worth the time and effort.
I can not tell you exactely how to do it, just finetuning with your own hands and eyes. I love vibrant colors and that's how i find it the best way to do it instead of just saturating the pic.
Make sure that every time you make photos, you know what you want to create. Make the image in your head and work towards that. The result will be pleasing.
You can see the photo larger in the slideshow.
Picture is only 900pix high, so in slideshow it can look a bit more unsharp. High res photos of mine never come online.
