    I would play around with a gradient map in Photoshop. The shadows should be a dark brown and the highlight a very light yellow. depending on how you want the midtones, you can add points (such as a dark orange, etc. Start with setting the blending mode to 'soft light' and use the percentage to dial it in.

    Looking at the photos, there's also been a lot of burning and dodging and skin smoothing, so the colour grade is going to look slightly different if you don't also do that to your image.

    i would try to emulate and not imitate. hope that helps a bit.

    Thank you very much Kount, I had saved the video of Fanji Lanang's tutorial on my computer and I tried to recreate a preset following its indications, the result is good and is a bit close to what I am looking for. I'm going to watch your other videos and learn these techniques.

    In fact I don't want to treat the skin exactly like it. What I like about these images is the Color Grading, moody chocolate brown, that's what I want to achieve. Otherwise the Dodge & Burn and the skin treatment I know how to do it! I will try to do as you explained. Thank you

    One more thing before you even consider color grading, calibrate your pc or mac screen for color accuracy. A lot of "new age" Photographers discard epic images all because they could not see them properly that"s it really
