A preset for perfect light conditions

This is a request I got from Presets Heavens Facebook fan page.

Recently I had a fun photo session with a 7 month young kid. During the session the sky was all covered with foggy clouds. Perfect light conditions for a photographer. All I did in Lightroom was to add some fill light, brightness and sharpen to the images. Finally I also did some adjustments with the adjustment brush to lighten up the eyes a bit. This is the result and the preset that came out of it…

Hello dear reader!
This week I visited an old friend of mine. I brought my camera (as always) and took some photos of their lovely kids. The newest member of the family is “Meja”. She was curious about that big camera lens in front of her face. Her head and eyes followed it all the time. Who said it was hard to take photos of kids? hehe

When I looked at the pictures in my camera I got so eager to get home to see them in a bigger format. Back at home I imported them to Lightroom and directly started to play around with them. I think these kind of photos are almost meant to be in black and white. It really makes them beautiful. So I started by applying my popular preset called “Naturally BW” and from there I made some adjustments. The end result became this new preset called “PH Childhood BW”. This one is definitely one of my best presets so far (hopefully one of your favorites too), in fact I think it’s so good that people would actually pay for it ;-)
