After playing around for what felt like weeks, I finally came up with a preset that Iβm happy with for all of my recent Africa shots on The Braided Lena Instagram account. Iβve had a few people asking for this β so have decided to create a downloadable link. Basically, my style is quite light and bright with increased saturation and decreased greens. If this sounds like something youβd be interested in, then download away!
As with all presets, you will have to do a little customising to each individual pic (e.g. your skin colour might be completely different to mine!) β but the general look and feel of my feed can be delivered via this Lightroom preset. This preset is best suited to RAW images using the Desktop version.


Iβm currently giving this away for free, but may be just for a limited timeβ¦ weβll see. If you download the preset and find you like it, I would absolutely LOVE for you to tag me in your posts so I can check it out and reshare it!
Hope you like it! Would love to hear your feedbackβ¦

P.P.S. Iβve popped some easy installation tips below for those installing their first preset. This is under the assumption that you already have the Lightroom program installed on your Desktop. If you donβt, you can easily purchase it here.
