Volume 6: Lightroom Portrait Presets
**NOW 25% OFF (REG. $50)**
These 12 presets are straight out of my PERSONAL Lightroom (desktop version) Preset Library and were each created to make my photos stand out in several different lighting scenarios, and that is exactly why I use them on my personal photos! Volume 6 is truly something special and represents where I hope to take the style of my photos in the coming months. There are some hidden gems in here too which, if you are taking your photos in good lighting conditions and shooting in a RAW format, will surprise you with their unique color and light toning! I put my own unique style on this wide variety of presets. I have already tested and edited over 200 photos using this preset pack as I do with all my preset packs before I release them to the public, and I have just been blown away by how with just a few basic adjustments these turn my photos into something special! I was inspired by so many things these past few months while developing and testing these, namely some cinematic colorings as well as some earth tones, which are new looks on my photos, and they just feel great to me, which is why I've been posting them! I want it to be known that TRULY unique presets are never really meant to be "one-click" solutions to photo editing. If you think that is what they are, please don't even bother buying these as you will be disappointed! Rather, these will give you a great foundation with which to BUILD a style of your own with my ideas as a foundation. In order to be unique, I push my colors and light in a number of ways, and depending on so many factors (quality of your camera's sensor, lighting conditions, skin color, exposure settings, artificial versus natural light, color of environment, angle of light, etc.), I cannot predict what YOUR photos will need in order to achieve the best look with these or ANY other presets...not if you want truly unique photos that stand out from all the rest of the photos out there. Some presets work better for underexposed images, others for overexposed, and others for properly exposed images. The point is that they are ADAPTABLE if you just play around with the exposure settings on your own! I hope that when you begin playing with these yourself, you find your own voice and begin to think of portraits and lifestyle photos differently! That is the point of art, right? TO GROW AND LEARN! :)
I will say this again as a caveat: every photo is different and requires you to play with these presets until they look the way YOU like them, but I am so happy with how these have turned out for my photos that I wanted to share them with others. Please note that if you do not shoot RAW on a pro camera with proper exposures, you may not get very good results with these! The best option will always be for you to master your craft of photography FIRST before getting the best results from your editing.

Because of this caveat and because this is a digital product you receive immediately after your payment is processed, there will be no refunds given as you cannot return a digital product like this. Below are some tips I've made for you so that you can get the best experience out of these amazing presets!
Pro Tips:
- Make sure you're shooting in a RAW format otherwise you will not be able to truly push these presets to their limit!
- Be sure to make your own adjustments to white balance, exposure, whites, shadows, and colors in the HSL panel and Camera Calibration tab until your photos look just right!
- Sometimes something as simple as adding a vignette can make your subject POP, so don't underestimate the basics!
- If you're having a hard time getting a preset to look right on a photo, try resetting all of the curves adjustments in each RGB channel and starting from scratch within curves!
- HAVE FUN! If editing is not a fun and interesting process to you, you will get frustrated and give up over time, so I recommend finding a way to have fun every time you sit down to edit! :)
