    Most of the above used large soft diffused lighting...

    Cloudy day light with tweeked white balance, and/or large light source like a scrim, huge softboxe(s) and/or Elinchrom Octobank,etc...

    . it's not something you can fake in post if the image was shot with, say direct flash, or on a bright daylight contrasty light...

    but most of the above color pallettes have been tweeked in post... the gregory crewdson stuff is lit light a movie set and costs almost as much to produce...

    • big sources, but not straight on, side and above.... requires more gear, time, assistants...vaxorcist
    • but NOTE! You can fake this look with flash bounced off a side wall or corner of a cieling.. with a dark wall behind subject....vaxorcist
