After shooting hundreds of comedians, this black and white preset is a non-destructive, safe and reliable preset. Simple exposure adjustments after should be enough, and I will usually adjust the highlights too depending on the stage lighting or room. An added tip is to create a radial mask around the subject, remove subject, invert the mask and slightly bring down the exposure to draw the eye to the subject and create more of a spotlight effect. (Don’t go too heavy on the adjustments though!)
This preset works with and without flash, on stage or backstage - and creates a timeless aesthetic. Perfect for those photos on the wall at your venue!
Upon purchase you will receive a link to the download for 24hrs. To install the preset, simply open Lightroom, click the plus symbol at the top right of your panel with presets on it, and navigate to upload. Add it as a favourite for quick access!
