HYPEBEAST HB2 inspired/ SAVAGE 2 Lightroom Preset- Street style, Portraits, Editorials
VSCO x HYPEBEAST Preset collection (HB1 and HB2) was created by the fashion and lifestyle collective HYPEBEAST. With it's clean highlights, blocky crushed shadows, and bluish cast in shadows, the collection has a very street style, editorial vibe- great for street photography, fashion blogging, urban landscapes, and editorial style portraiture. HB2 has a grittier, grainier look compared with HB1, and warmer skin tones (comparison photos between the two at the bottom of the post, and my HB1 blog post can be found here.)
The VSCO Cam filters are designed for mobile photography. In my HB2 preset, I am emulating the tone curves and colour shifts that gives HYPEBEAST HB2 it's look- at high resolution.
Both presets available at my StraightNoChaserPix Etsy store.
Introducing LIFESTYLE: a clean, modern preset for LR and ACR
LIFE//STYLE is a preset with a clean and modern feel. It is a versatile preset that works with a large range of portraiture and lifestyle photography from couples portraits, family portraits, interior photos, still life, and the plus (+) form is great for editorial work. As with many of my presets, I developed this to create flattering skin texture and tones - aiming to reduce the retouching time in Photoshop.
L//S is not a one trick pony- in higher key (brighter) images, it creates a clean bright airy look typical of lifestyle photography; in lower key (darker) images, it gives a rich, cinematic feel to the colours.
VSCO Cam Legacy 05 inspired Lightroom Preset
The Legacy series is a re-release of the original VSCO Cam presets- from #01 to #10. 05 is my favourite- I love the soft velvety-ness of the tones, and way it suits a wide range of image types from portraits, moody landscapes, and still life.
I've crafted a Lightroom preset which emulates the look of VSCOCam Legacy 05 in 3 different strengths- a regular version, a minus - version (subtle edit) and a plus + version (more dramatic edit), mimicking the intensity slider on the VSCO Cam app.

Introducing Foodie- a delicious Lightroom Preset for Food Photography
Hola!
I crafted a Lightroom preset specifically for my recent natural light shoot for The Pasta People. The visual style of the images they wanted to go with their brand was modern but earthy and laid-back, "like in Jamie Oliver's cookbooks". More or less a modern filmic look.
Sitting down to edit the images I decided that I needed faded highlights and blacks, as well as crushed details in the shadows (creating 'blockier' shadows, if that makes sense); some selective desaturation of greens and acqua tones, a shift from true red tones to tangerine to give tomatoes and chillies a bit of pop; increased in luminosity in reds orange and yellow tones to create clean looking highlights. And I called it 'Foodie' !
I tried these edits on some other images and realised that they worked quite well for night time restaurant lit images too- but with reduced contrast and a toned down version of the preset I used for the Pasta People shoot. So as per usual, I've created the preset 'Foodie' in a regular version, a PLUS version (more dramatic), and a MINUS version (more subtle for images that are already high contrast, and night time artificially lit images).

Hypebeast HB1 inspired Lightroom Preset- Savage 1
VSCO x HYPEBEAST Preset collection (HB1 and HB2) was created by the fashion and lifestyle collective HYPEBEAST. The collection has a very street style, editorial vibe- the HB1 in particular. I love the clean highlights and the gritty bluish toned heavy fade in the shadows. Perfect for street photography, fashion blogging, urban landscapes, and editorial style portraiture.
In my HB1 presets, I am emulating the tone curves and colour shifts that gives HYPEBEAST HB1 it's look. I'll break it down as we move down the post.
New Preset! Modern/Mellow for Lightroom, analysis and walk-through
Hey guys, I made a new preset!
I wanted to create a faded analogue look with a modern feel that is flattering on skin tones. I've been playing with these edits for a variety of images and found that they work well for editorial portraits, still life, landscapes and architectural shots. It gives moody landscapes added drama and mystery.

F2 (BLOOM 1) preset: How To Achieve in Lightroom
Desaturated and understated, the F Series: Mellow / Fade presets yield elegant results. An all-purpose pack with analogue film qualities, F1, F2, and F3 excel at beautiful skin tones and quiet everyday moments- VSCO
F2 from the VSCOCam F series is great for moody landscapes, edgy street photography, flat lays and any image with pink/magenta in it (awesome for floral still life photos). I find that it does not work so well with very high dynamic range images, particularly backlit portraits- but there are going to be exceptions. It has an edgy look with faded shadows, overall desaturation, vibrant magenta tones.
Street Etiquette SE3 / Street style- how to emulate in Lightroom
"Embodying the look and feel of Street Etiquette's work and inspiration, this pack accentuates dark and gritty tones, as well as deep and bold colors that are fitting for an array of occasions."
Street etiquette x VSCO pack consists of 3 presets. SE1 and SE2 have more dramatic colour shifts, faded shadows, and have a strong 'instant film' look.
SE3 is the the preset that I use most often- it is a high contrast dynamic look with deep blacks, slight desaturation, and clean highlights which looks great with both darker scenes and bright high key images. I think it works well for fashion, street photography, and lifestyle images.
VSCO Cam Subtle Fade M5 inspired Preset- how to create in Lightroom
VSCO : "The M Series: Subtle Fade pack evokes the vintage hues of the 70s and is available for purchase within your VSCO Cam photo app. These desaturated and mellow presets are ideal for urban environments and portraits."
I love the M5 for bright, high key scenes. It has this effect of creating a transparent feel to the image, as if you're looking at a projector slide. If you've used VSCO M5 on photos of people you may have noticed that it can be a very flattering preset for skin tones. I also love the moody analogue film look it gives to landscapes and still life.
Like I tried to do with the VSCO Cam A6 preset- I wanted to take the qualities of VSCO Cam M5 preset and adapt those to Lightroom editing of higher resolution images.
