Vintage Preset Pack and More

Woohoo, you’re almost there! Your free Vintage Preset Pack is downloadable right below, and I can’t wait for you to start creating with them!

Ever since starting photography, one of my goals has always been to create a free, high-quality preset pack that is easy to use and subtle enough to work with all types of photos. This Vintage Preset Pack is inspired by my love for film photography. Shooting film is a totally different experience from digital photography, and my hope with this pack is that it'll bring a little bit of that film photography magic to you as well.

WHAT'S INSIDE

VINTAGE-01: Nostalgic warm tones with decreased saturation that is great for sunrise, sunsets, and portraits.

VINTAGE-02: Romantic, airy vibes that's great for landscapes and portraits, but also flexible enough for street photography.

VINTAGE-03: A classic high-contrast preset with subtle warm tones and deeper shadows.

Staff Picks

I don’t think anyone could have expected this year to go the way it currently has, and we hope everyone is doing their best to stay safe and healthy during this time. For Melissa and myself, although things feel pretty strange with no travel plans anytime soon, we’ve come to appreciate the time we have together at home.

Starting this year with all our travel plans cancelled means that we’ve been able to invest a lot of extra time finding other things to learn, and brushing up on our photography and videography skills. These are just a few things we’re really into right now, and we’ll try to continually update this list as we discover new tools and products that we think you might find helpful as well.

Masterclass

At $180, it’s not cheap to shell out for the annual pass of Masterclass, but I consider it a great investment in yourself and your skills. It also means you have access to their entire course library for a whole year, and compared to other courses I’ve bought in the past, the production value is extremely high with Masterclass. If you’re in the market to learn new skills or develop and grow current ones, then I highly recommend looking into Masterclass.

Presets and LUTs
I’ve discovered that one of the best ways to improve as a photographer and videographer is to experiment with different presets and LUTs. The more you experiment, the easier you’ll find it is to edit in Lightroom or Premiere Pro, and the more you’ll learn about your own personal style. After buying and trying out countless presets and LUTs,  I’ve found some of my favorite go-to looks created by Bounce Color. Their selection is very high quality, flexible, and fairly priced. Specifically, I really like editing with their Lightroom Presets Master Collection and Filmic Tones LUTs Pack.

Duo Daypack

Since we’re just hanging out at home or going on short day trips in and around the Seattle area, I wanted a smaller everyday carry bag to use instead of the bigger and bulkier Peak Design 30L I usually carry around on our travels. The Duo Daypack has been perfect for our short local trips, and I especially like how the front of the bag fully zips open. If you’re looking for a smaller, comfortable, and accessible backpack, this is a great one to check out.

There has never been a better time to get into film photography. Over the last couple of months, I’ve been having fun trying out the different film stocks and developing the film at home. The reason why I like this camera so much is that you can usually find a good quality body + lens combo for under $150, and it’s extremely easy to use.
