The last one you posted, fauxtography, is just an on camera flash making it look like a snapshot in a family album, and the first one is really strange kind of lighting. Her nose has no definition to it, and everything around her BUT her eyes is lit.

 

It looks like there was a light to her right and a light to her left and she used a flash which gives us those cheek shadows. I’m no authority on studio lighting so don’t take my word for it.
