Prolost Vintage Winter 2016: 112 Black and White Presets for Lightroom

December 16, 2016

My new set of seasonal presets are out, and these are all about black and white. If you've been following me on Instagram, you've probably noticed my preoccupation with monochrome. The first photos I ever shot and processed myself were black and white (film, of course), and in many ways I find it to be the purest form of photography. There's only one problem:

Black and White is Hard

Many pro photographers I know consider black and white processing to be one of the hardest aspects of photography to master. There are so many different ways to get there, we almost always feel like we're doing it wrong.

This is where my "I'll know it when I see it" preset methodology comes to the rescue. When you run your mouse down this list of 112 presets, one of them will just feel right. When that happens, just click. You could be done there, or maybe you'll do a few more tweaks, but trust me, this is the fastest, most intuitive way to get started with mono processing.

You get 112 Lightroom presets for $39. They're available now, but they won't be around forever!
