We believe that photographers should spend more time behind their camera and less time in front of their computer. However, post-production still remains a very important part of the whole process of creating an image, as it helps to portray the photographer's vision, style and emotional setting. If you’re in search of your own editing style, or if you're looking for new ideas and color solutions - you’ll find our selection of 4 Lightroom Presets for Photographers very helpful.

Kristen Marie Parker Preset
website built with Onyx Design
Kristen Marie Parker is a big promoter of finding out what is unique and special about each of her clients. Her photography is about the heart and the raw emotions behind each shot, which you are able to feel and relate to. Kristen is a bit sarcastic, she’s a homebody and tends to dance in corners at large gatherings, but that doesn’t stop her inward sense of nurturing and wanting to help others. There’s an inner drive to connect with those around her, seeing them for who they are rather than what others want them to be. Kristen has translated that into her photography, documenting people and their interactions to equal what they represent, showcasing the honesty and quiet moments between them.
Her preset is meant to deepen your blacks, tone down your skin tones and foliage and provide a feel that is more cinematic, something that you see in motion pictures.
