Free Lightroom Presets

Hello! I hope that you're having a great day!

Some people have asked me about the filters/presets that I use on my pictures to get the coloring that I like. However, you may hate my coloring, in which case this post isn't for you... but I appreciate your feedback :).

If you'd like to download my color or black and white presets for Lightroom you can download them here. You can see examples of the filters on my photos below.

You'll first need to unzip the presets and then you can add them to Lightroom by following these instructions.

If you have any questions don't hesitate to reach out in the comments below. I'd also LOVE to see any photos that you edited using my presets. Gosh, that would bring me so much joy :)

Have a great day!

2017-02-22 - Installation in Process - The artist HOTxTEA

It's really hard to do justice to the beauty and focus of watching HOTxTEA's yarn installations. He has trained his brain to convert a chainlink fence into a canvas and his yarn into a paintbrush. HOTxTEA's installations are known for their three-dimensionality and complex perspectives as you'll see below. I acted as a spectator for 15 minutes and get to witness the word ABRACADABRA (a reference to the Steve Miller song) mocked-up, tilted, and flipped upwards at a 30-degree angle without any signs of second-guessing or anxiety. It's just magic (pun intended).

HOTxTEA was passing-through Austin, Texas, barely through a long-slog road trip back-up to Minneapolis, Minnesota. I had followed his work for years but getting to see his handiwork up close felt like sitting at the counter of a master chef.

If you scroll through HOTxTEA's Twitter tags, you can see countless examples of his beautiful gradients, his hanging yarn gardens, and his graffiti tags. 

Thank you so much for letting me be a witness, HOTxTEA! I know my photos don't do just to your art. Keep up your amazing work!
