the entire collection {9 lightroom presets}
the entire collection {9 lightroom presets}
the whole shabang. all 9 of my presets I use to get the aesthetic that earned me the nickname “theme queen” from Kevin at instagram. humble brag
DO YOU NEED BOTH?! well, more is more. and if you buy the entire collection you save $5!
now I have a 2 ground rules when I take photos for my instagram (insane? yes) and these presets are intended to be used on photos that follow:
photos must predominately include a white/cream background. that doesn’t mean that everything in the background has to be stark white, it just means that there needs to be enough white-ish somewhere in the photo that it creates a cohesive theme. you can’t get a bright white theme with photos taken on green walls.
tip: for some outdoor shots I use the sky as my ‘white’ (as long as there’s enough of it in frame)
no photos at night. i feel like this is self explanatory. there’s a reason you haven’t seen me stargazing on my feed in the last 7 years.
moral of the story, presets are not miracle workers (except 2 of them.) they work on the photos that they are intended for, so keep that in mind when taking photos. presets aren’t one size fits all, you can adjust the exposure/contrast/coloring to get the most out of each of your photos! also these presets are how I personally like my photos to look, if you’re not a fan of that style- these presets aren’t for you!
BASIC BITCH
for all you pumpkin spice lululemon queens. this preset is self explanatory. she basic. this preset brightens without compromising contrast & shadows, while still getting that creamy, airy aesthetic.
EVERYDAY THOT
brighter & cooler than ‘basic bitch’ - everyday thot is perfect for photos with some shadows, skew a bit on the yellow side. this preset looks BOMB on indoor photos and outdoor, as it keeps the blues of the sky, just mutes them to be a bit more subtle.
LEO SZN
when you’re a leo, every season is leo szn. this preset is amazing for photos when YOU are the mother fuxing STAR (like every leo is.) it brightens shadows, adds luminance, tones down the blues, & adds a creamy soft warm hue. but don’t worry. she isn’t orange. sips tea
DESPERATE
we’ve all been there. your insta-incompetent s/o snapped a solid 3 photos and they all fucking suck. they can’t be salvaged but you can’t waste the outfit. you’re devastated. you’re dare I say….desperate. this preset is a hail mary. for your backlit, shadowy, seemingly unsalvageable terrible photos. but be warned, do NOT use this preset on any photo with good/slightly okay light. you’ll look fucking insane.
LUKEWARM MESS
the sister of desperate. another preset intended for shit & backlit photos. ‘lukewarm mess’ adds a warmer, pastel, almost “vintage-y” feel to photos in need. I personally love this one for outdoor photo with direct sun, it eliminates all the shadows & makes everything creamy & soft. but again, DO NOT THROW A LUKEWARM MESS ON A HOT SNACK. reserve this only for photos that are in dire need of a facelift.
HOT GIRL SUMMER
this is the slow walk down the staircase in a romcom preset. like a slow motion wind blowing through your hair as your crush does a double take. this preset adds a golden hue that says “hi, I’m living my best life and i cannot be bothered with fuckboys” perfect for vacation pics (real or fake) & leaving bitches on read.
THIRST TRAP
think of this preset as ‘hot girl summer’ but thirstier. she knows what she wants, and what she wants is fire emojis and shameless late night DMs. it brightens the whites, tones down the blues, adds a v fuckable luminosity to the skin & makes you pop against the background (in a cute way, not a zit way)
BDE
you already look bomb. you probably own a ring light. this preset is for the photos where your first reaction is “10/10 I would fuck me” THAT is some major BDE. think of this as enhancing photos where the lighting is already pretty good, it’s like baby botox.
FENTY
when you name something after queen rihanna you KNOW it’s fucking good. i made this preset especially for those with darker skin tones, it makes you GLOW but it doesn’t take away from natural shadows or richness in complexions. it’s literally fenty factune. except not facetune. and sadly in no relation with fenty.
