Hi Friends! Happy Friday!

VINTAGE
A Golden Vintage Film Mood
Lightroom Preset
A deep vintage, golden hour mood preset inspired by classic film and summer haze with rich warm undertones.
WHAT IS A LIGHTROOM PRESET?
Lightroom Presets are a popular, easy way to edit photos without making every single adjustment yourself from scratch.
Presets are pre-made edits set into an image made by the photographer (me, in this case!) which you upload directly into the Lightroom App on Desktop or Mobile.
With presets, one click can directly edit your photos and with a tiny amount of your own adjustments, your photos come out looking professional and artistic without hours of editing.

THE WHY
I started using presets a few years ago to shorten the time it takes to edit photos. As a professional photographer and artist, the amount of photos I am editing on a daily basis can be overwhelming, to say the least.
As my preference is for moody, very artistic edits, editing each photo from scratch is not a sustainable option. As I started to save my presets and even sample other photographers’ edits, I realized what an absolute gift this preset method could be.
Over time I came to develop these artistic, deep vintage, golden hour mood presets inspired by classic film and summer haze with rich warm undertones. Without a doubt, these colors and edit choices have been inspired by my recent years living in the South of France.

PROVENCE LIGHT
The famous provence light has influenced my art and photography for the past couple years while being based in Aix-en-Provence, France.
In this lightroom preset, I try to capture the unique softness of the light here, combined with a moody undertone (I can’t help myself) and a warmth that seems to live in the very earth, walls and sky here in Provence.
This preset is great for portraits and city scenes, but will fit most photos with your own small adjustments.

TEXTURE
A Golden Vintage Film Mood
Lightroom Preset
Texture: the earthy feeling of chalk pastel working across hand-made paper, dried leaves and watercolor brushes, scenes of your studio materials elevated to artistic beauty.

ARTIST FEATURE:
VALERIA GANZMAN
Texture, florals, women, nudes and ragged edge paper all caught my eye in Valeria’s work. Not only does she have a soft and powerfully feminine aesthetic that draws the eye and is beautiful to behold, but her work brings together purples, earth tones and chalky yellows that speak right to the soul. Definitely check out her shop!
