Expedition - Lightroom AI Adaptive Presets
The Expedition Pack is a collection of presets that I created for myself for everyday use. As a professional Travel & Landscape photographer I shoot quite often, so it's important to me to be able to process what I get quickly and varied. Inspired by the Nordic landscapes, this set is all about desaturation and moody tones. I love cool tones, and that's the feeling I've tried to reflect in this pack.

A WORD ABOUT PRESETS
The Expedition Presets Pack contains a collection of my most used presets that I've carefully crafted over the years of traveling, capturing amazing places, and editing thousands of images, and is organized exactly the way I structure my regular workflow. They’re suitable for use by both beginners and professionals alike.
They are a great way to define a baseline look and were designed utilizing the power of creative profiles, allowing you to control the image processing in the most sophisticated way. These adjustments include RGB curves, gradient maps, and color grading that go far beyond what Lightroom or Presets are able to do independently, and the results are amazing. In addition, you can easily mix and match these profiles with your presets providing ultimate flexibility to create a fully customized editing style.
The presets work on various shooting styles, from travel photography to landscape, portraits, as well as urban environments, and I regularly use these on my portfolio works and for my iPhone shots.
This pack will fit any camera or phone, as each preset in my opinion requires adjustments at the editing stage. A clean and balanced original image is always a good base for any preset for the best results. After setting exposure and white balance editing can be done easily and quicker.
I love using a small number of presets. I think relying on too many presets can be overwhelming, confusing, and counterproductive. That's why, together with the signature 6 looks, I've included a custom Toolset & AI Effects with individual editing shortcuts, allowing you to tweak the settings further, experiment with new creative possibilities and discover your own style.

Lifetime product updates and support
All of my Lightroom presets have been tested on a wide variety of images to help you get the most out of the collections. The ‘Expedition’ pack works well with many lighting scenarios, but showcases its results best on images that have a good/near-perfect exposure. You may need to make some manual adjustments if your images are under or overexposed or if you require selective toning or color masking.
BEFORE & AFTER EXAMPLES
EVERYDAY
This is my go-to preset for all my travel images created to get my signature look. You can use the filter on landscape shots as well to create a faded look without hard contrasts. It works beautifully to get a soft look for portraits with natural skin tones.
OCEAN
With a flavor that reminds the Everyday look, this preset is modulated with the custom creative profile AL-EX 01 to give the shadows a distinctive blue teal tone that beautifully enhances the color contrast between the dark and light tones. Also, the greens and yellows are manipulated to increase color separation. This preset works great for different scenarios, but I like using it with soft light on moody shots.
GLACIER
Based on my go-to Everyday preset, this look is modulated with the custom profile AL-EX 02 to inject the shadows with a deep blue neutral tone, with yellows leaning toward the greenish side. It works nicely with winter scenarios as well as on moody landscapes.
TWILIGHT
With desaturated tones, this preset creates a gently faded effect with a nice contrast and cold/warm balance. It works best for sunrises, sunsets, foggy scenes, and blue-hour shots. But it works as an all-around preset - with just a few adjustments, it can also be applied to portrait images.
FOREST
With electric greens and highlights with slightly warm toning, this preset works best on images with many green parts and moody scenarios. It creates a stylized look with a cool feeling without losing too much color separation with warm colors.
MOOR
This is the warmest preset of the pack which embeds a slightly retro feeling with warm tones and yellowish greens. It works perfectly for nature shots with soft and warm direct lights. With just a few adjustments it can be applied to portraits as well.
SIGNATURE CREATIVE PROFILES
Profiles provide advanced color grading effects. There are numerous features built into them, including RGB curves, color balance, gradient maps, and more. These features go much further than Lightroom or a preset alone. Unlike regular presets, creative profiles do not affect the basic adjustments of your photos, such as exposure, contrast, and white balance. This means that you can apply them on top of your own edits without losing your original settings. The strength (or opacity) of Profile adjustments can easily be increased or decreased using an Amount slider much the same way you can now adjust presets, allowing you to fine-tune the results.
