Eternal City

For Mariano Morichini, urban photography is so much more than street photography or architecture. Cities offer so many clues, and Mariano created these Presets to speed up post-production. He perfected them over time, and now when he comes back from a shoot, he’s sure he won’t have to waste too much time on the computer. He simply tries a couple of these Presets, makes minimal adjustments, and he’s done!

All and Now: Great for low-light situations, this Preset enhances contrast and texture while making the image stand out.

Urbex: Adds a high-contrast look to black and white conversions with dramatic skies and deep shadows; perfect for images where graphic elements are the dominant feature.

Film Looks: An exact reproduction of the look of high-sensitivity B&W film, with sharp contrasts and intense shadows; perfect for street photography.

Here Comes the Sun: Brings back to life cityscapes that were shot in low-light conditions; perfect for overcast days.

Urban Detail: Recommended for tight shots or images with a dominant element; enhances every detail of the landscape across the tonal range.

Street Art: Enhances intense colors without affecting skin tone, creates striking photos with bold colors, and enhances images with eye-catching decorations such as murals or colorful architectural elements.

Blue Hour: Perfect for photos taken from sunset to the beginning of the night; enhances blue hour contrasts by controlling the often overly warm lights of the city.

Winter Nights: Perfect for long exposures, this Preset creates a warm and cozy atmosphere in night shots.

Night Drama: Night is a mystery, and this Preset creates a sophisticated nighttime atmosphere; also great for street photography.

Magic Lights: Night photography is a challenge! This preset helps you in your post-production work by creating a magical atmosphere in your night shots with high contrast and deep shadows.
