How do I get my pictures to look like this? Do I have to increase the brightness?
Thank you and best regards!

Sorry but for some reason I can't post the actually picture but here's the link

By the looks of it looks like they used an external flash unit probably on a white umbrella, then they desaturated it a bit in photoshop

I'm not 100% sure I'm right though

Thanks for your reply! Would that be the same case for this photo? Not the white umbrella part but the desaturation part

the second pic; the figure is just extremely darker bc of the bright sunlight behind her.

that first picture is definitely desaturated, and the tint has also been changed a bit. If you have photoshop or lightroom, you could make those effects.

RE: first picture
Like others have said, it does appear to have it's colour desaturated
Definitely taken with a professional expensive camera as the background is out of focus, with the subject in focus. Something you can't do with a digital camera.

RE: second picture
Don't think there's any colour desaturation here.
I think it was taken without flash and the sun directly behind the subject (late afternoon). I doubt the photo has been edited much, if at all.
Highly likely that it was taken with a digital camera.

there are many ways to do it.
i mean one of the ways is to duplicate the layer in photoshop and desaturate the new layer, then fiddle with opacity and layer styles and such.
