Humans are obsessed with the past and constantly worried about the future. Not only do we devote a lot of our time and resources to reminiscing about events that happened decades, centuries, and millennia ago, but we also can’t avoid going the extra mile that they are committing to memory. This is what photography is all about, committing events to memory in a manner we can look at it back at any time.
With history being such an important factor in photography, it is just natural that our desire for achieving a timeless and nostalgic look to these photos has increased over the years. Today, vintage looks and retro effects are one of the biggest trends in social media and professional photography. However, achieving them can be a challenge if you don’t own a film vintage camera yourself.
Fortunately, Lightroom presets are easier to use and more accessible than ever before. These vintage presets make it possible for anyone to add the artifacts and traits typical of film cameras with a few clicks without requiring knowledge of photo editing. We have compiled a list of presets and packages that will allow you to do just that, no matter the type of photography you are into
