I am deeply honored to have been invited by Adobe this past spring to develop a set of premium landscape presets, now available in the latest CC updates of Lightroom, Lightroom Classic, Lightroom Mobile and Adobe Camera Raw.

These tools will provide you a transformative yet subtle edit, with smooth gradients and thoughtfully designed color palettes. And you’ll discover that they will compliment portraits and other types of photography as well.
