WHY I CREATED MY 4 ESSENTIAL FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY PRESETS FOR LIGHTROOM
I thought long and hard about whether I should sell my Lightroom food photography presets - they're so simple and uncomplicated, would anyone really want them? But after so many of you asked how I edit, I finally took the plunge and here they are.
I know that many other bloggers create huge Lightroom preset bundles and as you can see I'm only selling a modest and uncomplicated 4 (TLP simple wood preset, TLP darkest wood preset, TLP hazy wood preset, TLP dark green wood)! I did this because...
AFFORDABLE - I really wanted to keep costs down for you ;).
LESS IS MORE - I firmly believe that less is actually more, especially in food photography.
USED BY A PROFESSIONAL FOOD PHOTOGRAPHER - These are some of my most used food photography Lightroom presets for my images on instagram as well as all my client work!
CREATE A COHESIVE LOOK - Only using a few Lightroom presets means you're able to create a more cohesive look on your instagram feed.
CREATE YOUR SIGNATURE LOOK - As the presets are adjustable, my aim is to give you a starting point on which you can develop your own visual identity.
TIME SAVING - Presets will allow you to finish editing quicker and free up your valuable time.
BEST SELLER - This is my most popular preset back with 100s of happy customers!

FAQ ABOUT MY FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY LIGHTROOM PRESETS
WHAT ARE LIGHTROOM PRESETS?
Lightroom presets are similar to filters (as seen on instagram), only better. They save editing adjustments so that you can easily re-apply the same adjustments to multiple photos allowing you to create a branded, signature and cohesive photography look.
WILL YOUR PRESETS WORK ON ANY BACKDROP, EVEN IF I DON'T PHOTOGRAPH ON WOOD?
Yes! They all have 'wood' (TLP simple winter wood, TLP darkest wood and TLP hazy wood and TLP dark green wood) in their name, but work on LOTS of different food photography surfaces. Please see the images in this blog post for examples of the presets in use.

WILL YOUR LIGHTROOM PRESETS WORK FOR NON-FOOD RELATED PHOTOGRAPHY?
These Lightroom presets have been specifically designed, tried and tested for food photography, however you might find they work for other types of shots too :).
WILL THESE LIGHTROOM PRESETS WORK WITH ARTIFICIALLY LITE FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY?
No! These presets have been designed for use in natural light situations only. They will not work if you use artificial lighting.
CAN I SEE IMAGES OF YOUR PHOTOS BEFORE YOU APPLIED THE TLP LIGHTROOM PRESETS?
Of course! You can see a few here.
WILL THESE LIGHTOOM PRESETS WORK FOR IMAGES USING HARSH LIGHT OR TAKEN OUTDOORS?
The presets will be at their best if used for images shot indoors in a home studio/spare bedroom/living room etc. with natural light, soft or diffused light. They may not work as well for food images shot outdoors or images where harsh light comes into play.
DO I NEED TO OWN LIGHTROOM ON MY DESKTOP TO USE THESE PRESETS?
Yes! You will need to own Lightroom on your desktop. Lightroom mobile will not support these presets and neither will any other editing software like photoshop or capture one.
DO I NEED TO SHOOT MY IMAGES IN RAW TO USE YOUR LIGHTROOM PRESETS OR WILL THEY WORK ON JPEG IMAGES TOO?
The presets are at their best when used by those of you who shoot images in RAW. However, they can also be used if you're shooting your images in jpeg format.
IF I USE YOUR PRESETS WILL MY IMAGES LOOK EXACTLY LIKE YOURS?
Gosh I hope not! The TLP food photography Lightroom presets are the ones I currently use, however I hope that they will allow you to establish a look that you like and - from there - enable you to develop your own style.
WILL YOUR LIGHTROOM PRESETS 'FIX' A PHOTO I TOOK THAT DIDN'T COME OUT RIGHT?
No! Please remember, presets are there to take a correctly exposed and well composed food photography image from good to jaw droppingly gorgeous.
