As a professional photographer, I spend a lot of time in Lightroom to edit all my images. So my presets allow me to work more easily and much faster.
But, each photo being unique, you cannot achieve a perfect result just by applying a simple preset in one click.
So here are some tips for using these presets properly
1 - Before applying one of my presets make sure to
Take your photos when the weather is cloudy or foggy, or during blue hours.
Keep your photos as simple as possible. Eliminate anything that doesn't add anything interesting to your image. Look at my photos, you will see that there are rarely more than three things in it, including the light. This is the best way to quickly improve your images.
Avoid very colorful subjects, they are not appropriate for this photographic style.
2 - After applying one of my presets make sure to
Lower the exposure of your image until you have this dark effect.
You can use the presets named "Tone" "Presence" "Curves" and "Vignetting" to quickly adjust each section.
Check that the highlights are not burnt out.
Pay attention to vignetting, it is deliberately strong in my presets so adjust it according to each image.
Make local adjustments using brush, radial filter and linear gradient. These adjustments are details but they make a huge difference.
Be curious, explore each setting and just have fun.
With these advice and these presets you now have all the keys to create images from another universe !

Work on Jpeg and Raw files, but I recommend to use Raw files to have the best quality and results.
