Quality over quantity always! Ever purchase a huge preset pack for dirt cheap only to find disappointment? I’ve been photographing human subjects for 10+ years and have fine tuned the color-grading process; and now I’ve packaged some of my fave looks to share with you. I get it, presets can be frowned upon by professionals but sometimes you need some instant inspiration in what direction to go with your color grade so you throw a few ‘filters’ over your pics and go from there … these offer that and you never know, you may just decide to stick with them with no further tweaking. 🙂
While these presets were developed using photographs of men, these androgynous tones remain versatile when it comes to color grading any subject or setting. This thoughtfully curated preset package contains 10 professional grade Adobe Lightroom presets for LR Desktop (Classic and CC) + Mobile. Whether you’re a seasoned shooter or just wanting to enhance your smartphone images this kit will add value to your photo game.
The Mens Portraits presets are focused around masculine tones and rigid detailing and were created and tested on images that had no previous retouch or manipulation. The sample images are raw images with nothing but one preset from the kit applied.
Results will vary based on your lighting and your in-camera settings; such as image quality and format, white balance, exposure etc. However, I have tested this kit on several varying images to offer as much flexibility as possible within the kit.
My suggestion if a preset feels too harsh or too subtle is to first adjust:
-Exposure
-Contrast
-Shadows
-Highlights
To get the most of this preset package, my suggestion while shooting is to add dimension to your subject via highlighting areas with lighting and/or make up (adding highlights to the cheekbone and nose areas on set goes a long way when making adjustments in post).
After purchasing, you will receive a download link via email. Please download as soon as you can as the link does expire within 24 hours.
Due to the digital nature of this product, presets are non-refundable. If they are not working with your imagery please feel free to personally email me one of your images and I will tweak one of the presets for you to better compliment your image.
These presets will work on Adobe Lightroom Classic CC, CC, and Lightroom Mobile, file formats included are DNG and XMP.
