How to get this look?

[rocr]

It is probably mostly the actual lighting and the contrast + curves adjustment in photoshop that gives it this look, but i cant really put my finger on what other adjustments are done. It does look extremely sharp.

There was probably not a lot of time spent on it considering the photos are from a club/bar photographer most likely batch processing a series of that night.


Any help is greatly appreciated!
I hope this post is in the right section as well. Sorry if it is not.

Besides a few drinks and the filters you mentioned the only thing I can think of is to say Welcome.... lol

you're right, just some adjustment layers. maybe you mean the overall clarity of the picture? i think it was just taken with a really good camera. but also there could be some unsharp mask in there, or some slight hdr.

I was also thinking some form of dynamic range adjustments, however, since its a club/bar roaming photog, i doubt its an actual HDR so maybe theres a makeshift action he has. So maybe i can check out some makeshift hdr actions. But yeah, what i cant figure out is the actual clarity of it.

i dont think you're gonna find the answer is just one thing lol i think you need to play around with different adjustment layers. theres definitely a photo filter on it, everything has a red-orange tint.
