There are a lot of Lightroom presets out there, but these are the exact presets I use to edit my own city portraits.

My editing style focuses on simplifying the color palette and reducing the distracting undertones that often show up in urban environments. I like keeping tones clean while emphasizing deep blues, rich shadows, and moody skies to give portraits a more cinematic city feel.

This pack includes 17 presets designed specifically for urban portrait photography. Two of the presets are more specialized and help create a more dramatic look by desaturating most colors and then selectively bringing certain tones back into the image so the elements you want to stand out really pop.

If you like this style and want a faster way to achieve it in your own work, the Urban Portrait Presets will help you get there.
