Four Preset Collections. One complete vision of light.
The Light Series is a cohesive collection of Lightroom presets built around a single unifying philosophy — that light, more than any other element, defines the character of an image. Each set approaches that idea from a different direction, giving you a complete palette of warm, clean, cinematic, and earthy colour grades that work individually or together across an entire body of work.
Light & Legacy brings the warmth and grain of classic colour negative film — golden skin tones, lifted shadows, and a timeless analogue depth suited to weddings, portraits, and lifestyle work.
Light & Truth is the clean and neutral counterpart — precise, honest colour with restrained contrast and natural whites that let the light in your images speak without interference.
Light & Ochre draws from the earth — warm terracotta, dusty gold, and sun-bleached tones inspired by natural pigments and the colour of late afternoon light on stone and skin.
Light & Ember turns the temperature down and the drama up — deep, smouldering grades with rich shadows and a cinematic weight built for bold editorial work and moody portraiture.
Together the four sets give you a complete editing language built on light — from the brightest, most airy frame to the darkest and most dramatic. Six base presets per set, dedicated tools, and creative profiles included across all four collections.

Light & Ochre is rooted in the natural pigments of a painter's palette - golden sand, red desert rock, stormy mountain greys, and the deep greens of forests. Across six base presets it delivers organic tonality and depth, with a film-inspired mood that keeps skin tones true while the world around them takes on rich, earthen character.
The dedicated L&O Toolset is built around six color veneers - Australian Vivianite, Burnt Sienna, Iron Oxide Pigment, Italian Green Earth, French Red Ochre, and Italian Yellow Ochre. Each one adds a distinct earthen finish that layers cleanly over the base preset, giving you a wide range of looks from one collection without starting from scratch on every image.
Light & Ochre was designed for the photographer drawn to natural environments - desert ceremonies, golden-hour family sessions, editorial work that leans into landscape. AI masking keeps skin tones balanced and accurate while the background takes on the warmth of the scene, so the earthen mood enhances your subject rather than competing with it.
