Portrait Master Kit
As a portrait photographer you probably want to make subtle changes to your photos since theses photos often are family portraits. But occasionally you get a chance to show your clients what a portrait “really” could look like instead of the regular ones they are used to see. Take the opportunity and impress your clients with extravaganza.

Fashion Master Kit
Fashion photography is probably the the style most photographers want to achieve or work with. If you have the correct light, model and setup the job is easier made. But if you’re in lack of that for some reason, a preset could help you out more than you think! Put some glamouring style to your photos.

Buy Professional Lightroom presets
Your voice has been heard!
With so many presets to chose from, your Lightroom preset library can easily be filled up quickly. Most of the time you probably only use a couple of your favourite presets, the rest of them just lay there (just in case). I know that many of you download a preset here as soon as I publish it. After all they are free and we humans like free stuff right? :-)
Save time, cause time is money!
As a professional photographer you want to speed up your work-flow as much as possible without the loss of quality.
I’ve received lots of mail from you asking me for some kind of collection of the best presets available out there. Apparently many of you want to keep your preset library clean with only the presets you can trust giving you a confident result each time.
I’ve been busy like a bee for some time now making this possible for you!
Today I have the great pleasure to present the brand new sister site: Pro Presets
Pro Presets is a service for those of you who work as professional photographer or struggling to be one. The site will offer you different collections of preset to chose from. At the end of the day you won’t need any other presets than these ones!
Some of you are into Wedding photography while some just love Black & White or Portrait photography etc. Because of this widely spread interest, you will be able to find a Lightroom Master Kit that suites your own style and work-flow. We will keep developing new kits to make sure your genre/style is included!
But what’s going to happen with presetsheaven.com then?
Calm down…I will of course continue to publish free presets for the rest of you who don’t want to go PRO!
Choose photo book by price or quality?
For each long trip to another country, I make a photo book containing most of the photos I’ve taken. I’ve tried multiple services for this purpose. Some of them are better than the other. A while back ago I used Snapfish to process my photo books. They were the best alternative for me at that point. I was working on a stationary PC and Snapfish had special client for PC-users to take advantage of. Today, more and more services are available and with even more options to chose from (paper quality, number of pages, hard vs. soft cover etc.).
One downside of Snapfish at that moment, was that the client was quite buggy (at least on my computer). The quality of the prints in the book was also not that astonishing, as I would like them to be.
The day I bought my new Macbook, the possibility to use Snapfish ended. I never got the Mac-version of the software to work out. From what I’ve heard today, they are using an online service instead of a downloadable software client (as they did before).
Two of my books (A trip to India and Thailand) have been ordered from Blurb. Since I’m a regular Mac user now and I like the idea of having a client installed to make my books, they’ve been my No.1 choice. Good price, fast delivery and a very nice client to work with when editing the books. The quality of the prints could be better though. I think the color could be more vibrant than what they are (even on premium paper).
Anyway. It’s hard to compare the quality of the paper/prints if you’re not ordering an exact copy of the book from each provider.
I have recently tried a new online service called Photobox.com. Mainly because I wanted to update my portfolio coffee-table book that I bring to the clients I meet. I thought is was a great opportunity to try a new service.
I must say that the quality of this book is the best one of all the ones I’ve done so far!
The book that I made has 96 pages, a hard cover and premium paper (option). It took me around 1 hour to make the book even though I’ve never tried their service before. To round things up I would like to point out a few thing that came to my mind while I was working with the book.
Great stuff
- Web based (works on all platforms, PC or Mac etc.)
- Simple interface and usage
- Autofill (One click and your book is filled with the images you’ve chosen)
- Many different templates
- Premium book options (Select paper quality, cover etc)
- Payment choices (I like the possibility to use Paypal)
- Multilingual
Not so great
- No software client (Some of us would like to be able to work offline)
- Price indication (You don’t see the price of your book until you’re finished to order. I would like to see what the difference, adding a page or two, would make on the price while I’m working with the book.)
- The price (Although the quality was great I think that $130 is quite much for a 96 pages book. I paid $72 for 122 pages at Blurb with shipping included)
I recommend using Photobox if you’re looking for great quality and a simple interface to work with.
There are tons of online providers out “there”.
What is your choice of provider when it comes to photo books? Please leave a comment below.
Thanks!
