I really like Sean Archer's work, I see it on pintrest/instagram a lot, and was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to achieve the look in post.

This not 1 look but lots of looks following a common pattern. In general:

Use a single big light source (optionally a second one for easier background separation).

Create blurred masks to brighten/darken individual areas for the unnatural glowing effect. An easy starting point would be to use one of the channels as a mask, increase its contrast and blur it. Then apply a curve using that mask. Further paint the mask manually to concentrate/reduce the effect.

Looking at other images by the same author: Eyes on some images look brightened too. He also seems to blur things that don't need blurring and creates halos around the model. As a whole - lots of post-processing for the sake of it, not always suitable, so be careful.

To create red skin and red blond hair: move yellows to red and increase saturation of both. Move neutrals to green/blue to the neutrals to "harmonize".

Vignette.

thanks!

I'm shocked to read that Sean Archer is using natural lighting. Sunny day and a big window -  that's his light!
