1980’S RETRO CYBERPUNK

I'm a huge fan of the original Blade Runner film, so I wanted to create a set of Lightroom photography image presets that reflect the futuristic cyberpunk world of the original 1982 version of the film. For inspiration, I looked at color palettes and photography from the film. Listening to the amazing score created by VANGELIS also helps guide me through the photo editing process.

These Lightroom image presets work best on:

  • photographs with a low to medium light range

  • rainy urban environments

  • photos with neon lights and reflections

Please, understand that presets should be regarded as a tool to help you find a good starting point for the look of your image, they shouldn’t be used as a one-click solution since every image has varying degrees of light, shadow, and color.

I’ve spent a lot of time crafting and perfecting these presets to be authentic to their source material as well as a few that I feel compliment the genre we all know and love.

All sales final.

thanks for looking

 

Remember to adjust your white balance, and to enable the two checkboxes in your “Lens Correction” settings of Lightroom before applying the preset to your image.
