    Hello Friends,
    I am trying to achieve these kind of dreamy style. These are the reference pictures I am posting below downloaded from Instagram.

    Can any one please suggest me how to achieve such muted contrast and colors and dreamy edits.To achieve such golden skin tones OR any such tutorials here.. ?
    Even any small tip which can help me will be much appreciated
    Thanks in advance

    The images you uploaded are not realistic. They have many technical errors .. In a competition they would receive professional standard scores. The first 2 may have had a place in a gallery with surreal elements.

    Nikki Harrison does a lot of this, as mentioned here. Chris Knight's dramatic portrait course won't show you the post-process, but will show the shooting process.

    If you try to create some dreamy vibes and you have a background image in mind, then try to implement real life elements into your shot, so that there is some real depth. also try lighting it, so that the light from the background gets mimicked

    For some more dreamy vibes, you should totally invest into a mist filter and a 50mm 1.2 or 85mm 1.2/1.4/1.8

    The washed out tones you can achieve in post production if you didn't, use to harsh lights
