Free Lightroom Preset Pack
Visual Diary Collection
Three looks, built around light. Free.
The three presets I keep coming back to. Soft, honest, a touch of grain. The everyday looks, not the show-off ones. Each one came out of a real place.

See the difference
Early-morning runs around Sydney. The first-hour palette: warm but soft, a little hazy. Lifted shadows, muted tones, a gentle warmth that does not push. It reminds me of home.
Sydney, early morning.
Built in Ho Chi Minh City, mostly overcast. Low-contrast and a touch desaturated, so it holds in flat grey light and does not fall apart when the sun cuts through. For walking somewhere unfamiliar.
Ho Chi Minh City.
Tokyo at night. Neon, layered signs, that cyberpunk glow. It holds the atmosphere, the colour and the grain, without crushing the shadows or faking the exposure.
Tokyo, after dark.

About these
I am a street and travel photographer based in Sydney. I shoot Fuji mostly, Sony occasionally, a Ricoh in the pocket, sometimes just the phone. These three started as adjustments I kept making without thinking, the same moves on the same kinds of light, until they settled into looks worth keeping.
They are a starting point. The whole idea is that you make them yours.
A few questions
Will this work with my camera and software?
Yeah, most likely. The XMP files run in Lightroom Classic, Lightroom desktop, and Lightroom Mobile. Built for RAW, work on any brand, so you do not need to shoot Fuji. JPEGs work too, the colour just shifts a bit differently.
Does it work on Lightroom Mobile?
Yep. The .xmp files import straight into the mobile app, and if you use the cloud version, presets you add on desktop sync to your phone on their own.
What if it looks off on my photos?
Set your exposure and white balance first, then apply the preset. That fixes most of it. The included guide has a note on where to start for each look.
