Lightroom Presets With Some Industrial Undertones

A few days ago, I was playing around with some Lightroom presets and came up with this dark, desaturated, industrial, orange look I really liked.

You know that moment when you look at a photo and think,

“Damn… this looks like it’s straight out of a horror movie”?

That’s exactly what I was chasing.

I’ve been experimenting with gritty, cinematic tones for a while, but nothing ever clicked until now.

This one’s got that eerie, Halloween kind of vibe.

It’s dark. It’s moody. It feels cinematic.

And if you apply it to your photos, I can almost guarantee… they’ll hit different.

Wanna give it a shot?

Hit me up, and I’ll send it to you.

#53 Cinematic Glow Lightroom Preset

Golden, Brown, Cinematic Glow Lightroom Preset

This isn’t a fancy location.

Just a field. Some light. A bit of editing in Lightroom.

The magic’s in the edit.

The RAW file was nothing special… flat, dull, lifeless.

But with a bit of tinkering in Lightroom, the photo came alive.

Personally, I love this golden, brown, cinematic glow.

Comment “Cinematic” and I’ll send the preset your way.

#42 Golden Morning on the Dyke in Pieterburen

The world looks different in the morning 

I drove out to the dyke in Pieterburen, just me, my camera, and a few dozen sheep fading in and out of the fog.

When the sun broke through, the whole landscape turned gold… and for a second, everything stood still.

I couldn’t be happier!

#31 By The River + New Lightroom Preset

By the river + Lightroom Preset

On the way to Austria, I snapped a photo of this river. Nothing special. The kind of shot you forget about… maybe even delete.

But yesterday, I decided to try something in Lightroom.

“How can I turn this boring photo into something cinematic? Moody? Maybe even like a scene from a thriller?”

So I started messing with hues and saturation in the Color Mix tab. Muted everything except the greens — and was pretty happy with the result. Then I pulled up the curves, made a few tweaks, and that’s when it really came alive.

I’ve already tested this preset on other shots, and I love how it transforms them.

Anyway…

If you’re interested, I’ll be giving it away soon.
