🔎 Included Presets
4 SIGNATURE PRESET LOOKS
These presets adjust nearly every setting in Lightroom to transform your photos into beautiful, filmic images.
📸 YVR Portrait (Neutral) - My most used preset; this preset adds a filmic vibrancy to any portrait, enhancing the colors & tone.
🌃 Yaletown - Cool, desaturated tones that enhance the image. Works best for fashionable city portraits shot in natural light.
🌇 Gastown - Warm, masculine colours inspired by the old streets of Gastown. Works great for urban portraits.
🏢 Granville St. - Unique & vibrant colour grade, designed for gritty street portraits. Works best for natural evening light.
