My Earth Essence Presets with Luminar Neo
08 / 28 / 2024
Return to BlogI’m excited to announce my partnership with Luminar Neo. We have launched an exclusive Earth Essence Presets Collection that captures the essence of classic darkroom techniques. These presets are crafted to help you make subtle, yet powerful enhancements to your portrait, landscape, and wildlife photography.
Guided by a strong commitment to ethical standards, my image processing ensures that changes in color, density, contrast, and saturation never alter or obscure the original content of the photograph.
With each purchase of these presets, you’ll enhance your own photography and support Vital Impacts, our non-profit dedicated to empowering the next generation of environmental photographers.
These before-and-after images are an example of the presets in action. They show the orphaned elephants at Reteti Elephant Sanctuary. This incredible organization, run by the Samburu community, rescues, rehabilitates, and reintroduces orphaned elephant calves to the wild. Discover more and get involved by following Reteti and Sarara Foundation.
I’m also sharing some favorite photos from India as well as my long-term work with scientists successfully bringing China’s pandas back from extinction.
