The idea / 00

Built to be used.
Not just downloaded.

These started as looks I built for my own photographs.

Different light.
Different places.
Different stories.

I'm giving you five starting points.

Take them. Tweak them. Break them. Make them yours.

Five looks.

How I use them

Clicking the preset
isn't the edit.

Every photograph has different light. After applying a preset, I shape the frame with global adjustments and local masks.

01

Exposure

02

White balance

03

Skin / Color

04

Masking

Beyond the preset / Local edit

The frame gets
its own treatment.

MASKING

Active
Exposure+0.35
Shadows+18
Texture-08

The preset sets the direction. Masks shape the light, skin and attention inside the frame.

Then I make the frame my own.
