Specific Fixing black&white very underexposed images

[stoyan]

Hello, I have two pictures which are b&w and very underexposed, looking to brightening them up and to colorize them(if possible). I have tried to do it by myself but due to lack of experience in PS I don't find the needed results. The pictures are from the genre Act art and in this case I'm not sure if I can post in the public forum. People who show interest can contact me in DM, thanks in advance!

Have a great day!

If you want confidentiality, please set a price and post your message in the paid forum.

This is also an image which I look for a little bit more brightness.

A little more brightness is an aesthetic and personal decision. Hard to know what you're looking for.
Here are 3 samples - one with the sky changed out. A 4th version using you sky with some lighting adjustment
Somewhere in there I think is where you want to go...

Version 1



Version 2



Version 3 with sky switched out



Version 4

Great job! All of them are nice but Version 3 fits perfectly for my search and need. Thanks!

The pictures are from the genre Act art...

@stoyan , I'm curious about the genre "Act art". I've never heard of it and don't know what it is. When I try to search the internet for that term I do not get anything useful. Can you please give examples of who some of the artists are, or maybe provide some links to relevent websites? Thanks.
