Visual Flow’s new presets are custom made based on lighting conditions in an image

31 Oct

Visual Flow, the company launched by DVLP and SLR Lounge, has introduced ‘The Modern Pack,’ a series of 10 presets for Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw. The Modern Pack stands out from competitors, according to Visual Flow, because it is ‘lighting condition-based,’ meaning that it does not require the ‘perfect lighting and weather conditions’ for which other presets are designed.

According to Visual Flow, its new lighting condition-based presets use a Color Engine and camera profile technology to unify the color variations between camera manufacturers and to create the look of the selected preset regardless of the lighting conditions in the input image.

The Modern Pack presets include Black & White, Hard Light, Soft Light, Backlit, HDR Natural, Over Saturated, Tungsten, Tungsten Mix and Green Tint; further comparison examples of each preset can be found on the Visual Flow website here. According to the company, the work it put into its Color Engine means users will enjoy 1-click presets without the need for extensive manual tweaking.

Joining The Modern Pack is the non-destructive Retouching Toolkit for Lightroom and ACR, which features 26 tools and 47 retouching brushes for dodging and burning, retouching, scene enhancements,and more.

The Modern Preset Pack and the Retouching Kit are available for $ 95 each; there’s also a bundle of the two for $ 165.

Hot set: Benjamin Von Wong’s latest shoot features a model on lava flows

21 Oct

Photographer Benjamin Von Wong, never one to shy away from extreme conditions to get a shot, has released a new set of images and behind the scenes information from his most recent shoot among the lava flows of Hawaii’s Big Island. Setting out at midnight, he and his crew trekked several miles through rough terrain to reach the glowing lava, where they set up to capture a model backlit with a battery-powered monolight. Using a Sony a7R II and FE 16-35mm F4, Von Wong worked quickly – the intense temperatures meant his model could only stand in position near the lava for very short periods of time. 

You can see some of the resulting images above. For more behind-the-scenes info, head to Von Wong’s blog. Images from the shoot are for sale, with profits benefiting victims of Hurricane Matthew.
