Vintage light

I went for a vintage effect but, a dark vintage effect. I think even though the overall style is "arabic", the theme vintage does suite it somehow. It starts from the picture on the top left and ends on the picture on the bottom right. The key to enhancing is just darkening the areas where the camera didn't pick up the dark colors. While still keeping the eyes dark, I was able to just hint a bit of shine. I moved on  by airbrushing the skin after i had lightened up the areas that become too dark due to the contrast adjustment I made. Lastly, I added a vintage film effect and topped it off with field blur.
