Light and Airy Theme Parks Visits

There is a lot going on in any kind of theme or amusement park. There are rides and attractions everywhere. There are food booths lots of other people. In short: A lot of distractions that present a challenge to clear and well composed photography.
Which presets should you choose to color grade your theme park visits?

Bright and Soft Amusement Park Photos

Similar to home decor and interior design Lightroom presets, theme park photos benefit from color grading, that allows the lines and shapes in the photo to determine the composition. A light and soft natural styling gives room to the vast structures in the background and most of all, to smiling faces!

Moody Theme Park Photos

Then again, a theme park can look spooky, moody and gloomy. So you could try for horror Lightroom presets to evoke a sinister feeling of outer-wordliness.
Or maybe just vintage Lightroom presets that soften the overwhelming tones visible in any amusement park.

Light and Airy Presets for Home Decor and Interior Design

Similar to culinary photography, the inside of a house needs to be shot with great care. Otherwise you risk substandard photos, even with beautiful decor and a styled interior.

Aside from the physical considerations, like composing well aligned scene, de-cluttering everything and polishing all reflective surfaces, there are things you have to keep in mind about the final look, well before you start color grading.

What Presets Should You Use for Home Decor and Interior Design Photos?

• Do you want to present a clean environment? This does not mean that other photos are unclean. But it focuses on brighter tones and invites light and airy styling.
• Are you highlighting architectural achievements or specific (often modern) furniture or wall decorations? Whenever the lines and geometry are of importance, a light color grading will help emphasize defining features.
• Older rooms may also benefit from light and airy Lightroom presets. But depending on the vibe, a darker color treatment might suit your needs better. Consider checking out Vintage, Warm or Dreamy Lightroom presets for more traditional homes!

Light and airy presets are an amazing companion for anything that features pronounced lines, symmetry and geometric arrangements. If you are more inclined towards architectural photography, we also recommend taking a look at Black and White Lightroom Presets. By taking out the colors what's left is contrast and thus an emphasis on shapes and lines.

To get a mix of symmetry-oriented styling and color-based treatment, light and airy Lightroom presets are a great choice for your home. Brighter photos easily emphasize that you're having a good time!

Light and Airy Presets for Fashion Show and Editorial Photos

Wow your readers with the soft and dreamy atmosphere of light and airy color grading. Draw them into a story by presenting natural scenery and relatable people.
Sometimes your imagery needs to be highly polished, super-saturated and full of stark contrast to stand out. But there are oh so many situations, were you can mesmerize your audience with softer tones.

A Sense Of Femininity

Light and airy color grading is not primarily feminine. Nor do female traits necessarily need light, bright or airy styling. But you can absolutely leverage a dreamy soft color grade to accentuate feminine characteristics.
Consider light and airy styling whenever you want to focus on the softer aspects of the feminine. Brighter, dream like qualities find their match in mellow photography and sensual situations. Pastel hues play wonderfully with skin tones and lighter fabrics.

A Pastel Palette

What is your objective? A lot of what is now called content used to be called art. Professional art, maybe, but still.
If you want to portrait the cohesive beauty of a well designed space and the people in it, a natural composition gels sweetly with a light and airy color grade. By focusing on softer, more pastel hues you can easily demonstrate the ethereal qualities of your art.

A Dream

The soft touch of light and airy color grading has a light, dreamy quality. It's not the same as the luxurious dreaminess of more vigorous Dreamy Lightroom presets. Instead, its feeling of softly cushioned flow stems from the lightness in brightness and tone.
Create serene scenery and portrait emotional characters by allowing them to stand on their own, while the artwork becomes soft, delicate and natural.

Light and Airy Presets for Food & Culinary Photos

The curse of bad food photography! We all have seen the dark underbelly of culinary photography. A place plagued by abysmal representations of food. Where meals appear ghastly, lacking any semblance of flavor or appeal.

Luckily, it's possible to escape the dismal gloom of poorly lit and badly composed food photographs. And it only takes two steps:

• Arrange your food with thought. Most photos improve drastically by just the slightest touch of forethought.
• Light the food well and apply bright color grading

Does this guarantee great culinary shots? Absolutely not! Food photography is a art form not easily perfected. You only have so many tries before the meal changes its looks or attracts bugs. But a light touch will do wonders in most situations and supercharge your results!

So how should you approach culinary photography? By doing the work! Think of vibrant bowls of freshly picked berries, glistening with the promise of summer's bounty. Picture a crisp, colorful salad, its array of vegetables and leafy greens shining with vitality. And what about a refreshing glass of citrus-infused lemonade, its golden glow a testament to the zesty tang that awaits the parched palate? These culinary delights, when bathed in the soft embrace of light and airy styling, become visual odes to the joy of good eating. Let your dishes come alive and don't hesitate to start over, when you accidentally tasted a healthy snack before you thought about the shot!
