Creative workflow with 7 modules and 56 presets for abstract landscape photography in Lightroom for Desktop & Mobile

This is definitely not a conventional preset pack for landscape photography with the same old looks you see on Instagram, but something truly bold and unique.

There is no product that I use more often as a source of inspiration than this collection of presets. And none of my other products contains more passion and experience.

Compatible with Lightroom Desktop and Mobile (DNG presets included!)

All Lightroom presets are included in XMP, lrtemplate and DNG format to ensure maximum compatibility and flexibility across platforms and devices.

In recent months, I have received many questions about my Fine Art series and especially about my rather dark and artistic editing process in Lightroom. After a little reflection, I decided to develop a preset pack for the dark and dramatic landscape and nature photography exemplified in my most well-known photo series. I quickly realized that it required significantly more testing and experimentation than expected ... but the hard work has paid off and I'm 100% satisfied with the final product.

Create images that truly stand apart from the masses of tired, overused motifs.

With this product you get an exciting workflow of 56 presets that will surely bring you new ideas and impressive results. This preset pack pairs perfectly with an experimental and playful approach – one of my favorite strategies when I don't know exactly where the journey in Lightroom should take me.

The presets work for a variety of different landscape types, but unfold their full power in coastal, forest and mountain landscapes with clouds, fog or overcast skies – from wide panoramic shots to exciting close-ups.

How the presets work

This collection of Lightroom presets is created as a workflow (like my other products) and the 56 presets are grouped into seven modules.

There are 15 dark and dramatic presets (basic looks) to choose from, each with a slightly different focus, color scheme and atmosphere. Split toning is an integral part of this product and I recommend experimenting with the different split toning options from the third module after choosing the basic look and adjusting the exposure, highlights and shadows accordingly. The majority of the 15 basic looks have a rather bluish tint in the highlights and shadows, but the split toning presets from the third module range over all colors, from orange and teal to variants of green.

1. Dark & dramatic looks (15 presets)
2. Exposure (12 presets)
3. Split toning (11 presets)
4. Vignetting (6 presets)
5. Grain (4 presets)
6. Noise reduction (4 presets)
7. Sharpening (4 presets)
