Kin is an expansive portrait preset collection crafted to give photographers unparalleled creative freedom, allowing every edit to become a personal work of art.
Designed as a flexible foundation, the set lets you start with a thoughtfully curated base colour grade — a warm, earthen palette with quiet cinematic weight — then fully customise colour and dynamics to shape your vision.
Earthen Warmth
A warm, earth-toned palette runs through every preset, carrying a quiet cinematic weight that suits the closeness of portrait work. The set holds its character across skin tones and natural light, lending each frame a considered, lasting feel.
Stylistic Freedom
Start with a thoughtfully crafted base colour grade and shape your edit exactly how you envision. Push it deeper toward a richer, more cinematic story, or pull it cleanly back toward true colour whenever the scene calls for a softer finish.
Built for Every Portrait Scene
From open outdoor light to intimate interiors, every tool is shaped for the precision portrait work demands. Refine skin, sculpt mood, and balance tricky light with confidence — crafting a cohesive, considered edit from frame one.
The Foundation Collection is a category of Archipelago preset sets — not a single product, but a family of premium sets built on a shared architectural framework. Every set in the collection carries the same panel layout, workflow, and shortcuts, but the tools inside are tuned for the genre that set is designed for. Eternal is built for weddings. Kin is built for portrait, family, and lifestyle work. More sets are in development.
You purchase Foundation Collection sets individually. The shared structure across the collection means the muscle memory you build in one set carries into the next, no matter what you photograph.
Foundation Collection sets are built for working photographers who want a complete editing system rather than a fixed look. Each set is expansive enough to handle a full genre's worth of real-world scenes — mixed lighting, fast-moving subjects, tricky shadows, varied skin tones — while staying flexible enough to bend to your own creative direction. If you've outgrown one-click presets and want a system that supports a real body of work, this is the tier built for you.
Foundation Collection sets are larger, more flexible, and built to work together as a system. Each set includes 8 base presets, Creative Profiles, and 50–60+ specialised tools across Scene, Subject, Lighting, Colour, and Utility categories — far beyond a typical preset pack. The shared architecture across the collection means once you've learned how to edit with one set, you can move into any other Foundation set without relearning your workflow.
No. Each Foundation Collection set is a complete editing system on its own. If you primarily shoot weddings, Eternal is fully equipped to handle that work end-to-end. If you primarily shoot portrait, family, or lifestyle work, Kin will cover you in the same way.
Photographers who shoot across multiple genres often own more than one set so they can move fluidly between them — with the same workflow, but tools tuned to each genre. Members get up to 50% off every set in the collection through the Archipelago Society.
Yes. New Foundation Collection sets are in active development, each built for a specific genre of photography work. Because every set follows the same architectural framework, anything you've learned in Eternal or Kin will carry directly into the next set you pick up. Follow our newsletter for release announcements.
