COLLABORATION SERIES
Kat Presets
A COLLABORATION WITH KATCH STUDIOS
Kat Gill has a keen sense for pulling together juxtaposing elements in her images to create a powerful and balanced intimacy. So when deciding what direction to take our collaboration I gave her as much frame as possible to play in so she could lead the way. What we ended up with is a charmingly versatile pack of presets that swoon regardless of how or where you shoot. Boudoir and Wedding photographers will be particularly pleased with this pack as they focus on rich and creamy warmth that flatters skin tones both indoors and outdoors. You'll also get a custom Skin Smoothing Brush for clarifying any unexpected problem areas while giving your images an ultra-polished look. And to round out the pack, we've thoughtfully designed presets for studio and indoor sessions that offer bold yet soft natural tonality while still bringing plenty of mood.

KAT Presets consists of 6 color presets, 2 BW presets, and 1 custom Skin Smoothing Brush.
Before and after images below demonstrate how each preset manipulates an image with identical white balance and exposure.
KAT 1 - Indoor
This is my signature indoor preset. Its soft warmth and muted highlights have a touch of contrast and make it an absolute go-to for most boudoir, studio portraits, and pre-wedding bridal photos.

KAT 4 - Indoor/outdoor
Kat 4 - Indoor/outdoor is a super capable liaison between my indoor and outdoor presets. It’s punchy, it’s contrasty, and it’s up to the task for editorial work, bold portraits, and indoor wedding ceremonies.

KAT 5 - Outdoor
As an all-around outdoor preset, KAT 5 - Outdoor carries rich reds, minty greens, and aqua blues. With lovely warm skin tones that don’t over-pull redness, I love to use this for bridals and outdoor lifestyle sessions in a variety of situations.

KAT 8 - BW
MoodUsing Kat 7 - BW as a foundation, I then turned up the attitude with contrast and grain to make this preset both fun and effective for more artistic shots or anytime I want a little more drama.
