"Import Preset" is now FINALLY available for Lightroom Mobile on iOS! Both paid and free Lightroom Mobile users on iPhone and iPad can now directly import XMP presets as a one-touch whole .zip. This means DNG presets may soon be a thing of the past. Unfortunately, the current version of the feature leaves something to be desired...

Despite extensive beta-testing across various skin tones and conditions prior to the release of each and every collection at Luxe, we know it’s not a one-size fits all world. Some vibrant edits may result in red or orange tints to skin or subtle edits may leave skin washed out. These editing issues most often occur within photos shot by smartphones because smartphones (versus a digital camera) capture less light data within an image. They're also more likely to occur when photographers shoot in JPEG vs RAW. But fear not. There's a perfect preset for all tones of skin! This article was created to help you find your perfect fit when editing dark skin tones with presets.

This week we chatted with Bri Viglianco, a multi-talented photographer and educator who has made the world brighter with storybook captures of her boys and their furry friends! 

Bri is a lifestyle and family photographer known for honoring and elevating true to life tones and creating breathtaking art of authentic moments as she documents life at home. So much of her work is infused with a clear sense of humor, real life energy and vulnerability, and a magical dash of pop culture which makes each image all the more relatable and memorable. With a thoughtfully refined palette and a hybrid painterly approach, Bri unites indoors and out like no other - she'll have you suspending disbelief with a fluffy white clouds in the den and whisked away in the magic of wherever she goes! 

We beckon you to fall under her spell and stay a while as we discuss capturing childhood, staying true to yourself and your art, and developing your editing style. 

As temps heat up, flowers bloom, and evening sun turns everything to gold, we plan to continue this interview series highlighting inspiring photographers.This week we spoke with Amber Connor of Four Ponds Living! We talked home and brand styling, maintaining authenticity, cultivating beautiful spaces, and Instagram as a tool for exposure. 

 At Luxe, we value elevating community and uniting photographers with one another for inspiration, friendship, mentorship, and growth. We connected with Alex about her journey, her process, and sought advice for learners and creatives want to dip their foot into conceptual photography but find themselves intimidated or struggling with personal reservations or barriers to getting started.
