Lightroom presets from the masters

17 presets for Lightroom and Capture One, each based on the visual style of an influential photographer. A preset is a starting point. Import, adjust, make it yours.

Each preset gives you a solid foundation: the right colour temperature, the right contrast distribution, the feel of the film stock. From there you adjust for your own photo, your own light, your own taste.

  • 17 presets in .xmp (Lightroom), .costyle (Capture One) and .cube (LUT), each in four strengths
  • Per preset: name, camera, film stock and description of the look
  • Download link via email, valid 90 days
  • For any camera: the camera and film listed per preset describe the original, the preset works on your own raw and jpeg files

Names are our own interpretations, no official collaboration with the photographers.

The presets

The closer your photo is to the style of the source, the less you need to adjust. But every preset works as a starting point for any photographer.

Annie Leibovitz preset before and after
Colour

Anne Laatmijnvis

Based on the style of Annie Leibovitz

Dramatic and warm. Rich colours in the Kodachrome tradition, wide tonal range and a cinematic quality that elevates portraits.

Harry Gruyaert preset before and after
Colour

Henri Grijsaard

Based on the style of Harry Gruyaert

Kodachrome at its most electric. Deep red planes, electric blue and golden yellow warmth. Gruyaert made colour a compositional element, this preset does too.

Diane Arbus preset before and after
B&W

Diana Luchtbus

Based on the style of Diane Arbus

Direct, clinical and uncomfortably clear. Daylight flash, medium contrast and fine grain, the face has nowhere to hide.

Aida Muluneh preset before and after
Colour

Ida Molenaar

Based on the style of Aida Muluneh

Bold, graphic and uncompromising. Cobalt blue against terracotta, bold primaries as building blocks. Strong split-tone for maximum visual impact.

Joel Meyerowitz preset before and after
Colour

Jan Meijerts

Based on the style of Joel Meyerowitz

Airy, luminous and true to nature. Kodachrome warmth without exaggeration, golden skin tones, clean sky, open shadows. The quality of light as subject.

Garry Winogrand preset before and after
B&W

Gerrie Grotewijn

Based on the style of Garry Winogrand

Classic New York street photograph. Punchy midtones, full tonal range and the grainy character of Tri-X at 28mm, energetic, candid, unpolished.

A good preset is a starting point.

Start with these 17, adjust for your own photo, your own light, your own taste.

Alex Webb preset before and after
Colour

Lex Spinrag

Based on the style of Alex Webb

Tropical heat in a single frame. Extreme saturation, deep shadows with colour, layers of magenta and orange. For those who dare: colour as chaos and beauty at once.

Henri Cartier-Bresson preset before and after
B&W

Harry Kwartier van Bussum

Based on the style of Henri Cartier-Bresson

Martin Parr preset before and after
Colour

Martijn Paar

Based on the style of Martin Parr

Hyper-saturated, brutal and a little too much, exactly as intended. Ring flash, Velvia and a sharp eye for the mundane. Green becomes neon green, red becomes fire red.

Mary Ellen Mark preset before and after
B&W

Mark Marie Allen

Based on the style of Mary Ellen Mark

Human, honest and warm. Slightly warm-brown B&W tonality, open shadows, high local texture. Documentary photography that preserves its subject's dignity.

Nan Goldin preset before and after
Colour

Nancy Goudse

Based on the style of Nan Goldin

Faded, raw and intimate. Direct flash on consumer film, lifted blacks, warm yellow-green shadows, slightly overexposed skin. The aesthetic of the personal diary.

Saul Leiter preset before and after
Colour

Sally Jammer

Based on the style of Saul Leiter

Painterly, soft and pervasively warm. Muted colours with a red or orange accent, lifted blacks, low clarity, like looking through steamed glass on a rainy day.

Steve McCurry preset before and after
Colour

Stefan Hela

Based on the style of Steve McCurry

Warm, deep and pronounced. The Kodachrome palette at its richest: golden skin tones, saturated blues, controlled highlights. Travel photography that makes the world more beautiful.

Wes Anderson preset before and after
Colour

Wesley van de Anderen

Based on the style of Wes Anderson

Pastel-hued and symmetrical in spirit. Lifted blacks, soft peach in the shadows, cool cyan in the highlights. Faded film stock as aesthetic statement.

William Eggleston preset before and after
Colour

Willie Eierdoos

Based on the style of William Eggleston

Democratic and deep. The American everyday in full colour, waxy reds, saturated greens, a rich sky. No heroism, no irony. Just light on things that are there.

Frequently asked questions

Do these presets work in Lightroom and Capture One?
Yes. You receive .xmp files for Lightroom Classic and Lightroom CC/cloud, .costyle files for Capture One and .cube LUT files for other software with colour grading. Import via the presets, styles or LUT panel.
Do they work on RAW and JPEG files?
Best on RAW files, since those offer more editing headroom. JPEG works too, but some adjustments may be limited by the compression.

After payment you receive an email with a download link. That link is valid for 90 days. The .zip contains three folders: Lightroom, Capture One and LUT, with each preset in four strengths and an installation guide in pdf.
Are these official presets from the photographers?
No. The presets are based on analysis of camera, film stock and visual language. The names are fictional interpretations. There is no official collaboration or endorsement.

Preset Pack: how it works

The Preset Pack includes 17 presets for Lightroom and Capture One, each built around the editing style of well-known photographers. Import them directly into your software and use them as a starting point for your own edits. Useful when you want to explore a specific look without building it from scratch.

What's in the pack and how to import

The 17 presets cover a range of styles: high-contrast street photography, soft portrait grading, filmic colour shifts and more. Each preset is named after the type of look it produces, so you can quickly find something that fits a particular shoot.

In Lightroom, import via the preset panel (right-click, import presets). In Capture One, use the Styles panel. The files are split by application, so you only add what you actually use.

A starting point, not a finished result

A preset sets a direction. Exposure, white balance and the specific camera body you shoot with all affect how a preset lands on a given RAW file. Expect to make adjustments after applying one.

If you want a clearer picture of your tonal distribution before picking a style, the Colour Analysis tool breaks down the colour balance in your image. That context helps you choose a preset that actually works with the light you captured.

Frequently asked questions

Do these presets work on JPEG files?

They do, but the results are less predictable than on RAW. A JPEG already has the camera's own processing baked in, which means adjustments can push the image too far more quickly.

Can I edit a preset from this pack and save it as my own?

Yes. Apply the preset, adjust the sliders to taste, then save it as a new preset under your own name. The original in the pack stays untouched.

How do I get consistent results when the same preset looks different on each photo?

That's normal behaviour. A preset applies fixed values, and your images vary in exposure and white balance. Treat the preset as a rough starting point and do a quick per-image correction on exposure and highlights before fine-tuning further.
