A little background

About.

I'm Carel, a photographer based in Perth. My work follows local outings and trips around Western Australia, from Burns Beach and Pinjar to Bluff Knoll, the south coast and the night skies near Geraldton and Wongan Hills.

What I carry

In the bag.

Relzaroid / the edit

Presets.

Three different approaches to an edit, collected in one set: Adventure, Film and Natural.

The pack contains three XMP preset files. Every photograph starts somewhere different, so each edit can be adjusted to suit the image.

01 / 03

Adventure

Lifted exposure and shadows, reduced saturation, a custom tone curve and grain.

02 / 03

Film

A custom tone curve, restrained warm highlight and cool shadow toning, and grain.

03 / 03

Natural

Colour and camera profile settings. The file leaves exposure and tonal sliders untouched.

One RAW, four renders.
