How is this achieved?

not sure if posting in right section :S

but wondering how a photos from Clubs/bars/events etc. achieve a particular look. it's a bit hard to describe but I guess everyone looks really smooth and glossy?
photos removed. You are breaching copyright and the AP site rules, by posting photos that you have not taken, do not own copyright to.

hope you can get an idea of what I mean from the two photos,

my first guess would be Flash, and second would be post work?

could be completely wrong but thanks for the help.

Post a link to the images and not the images themselves, that is allowed cyza, hope this helps. Dave
