I know how hard it is to find a good Lightroom preset.
Especially a free one.
I have tried so many that I just didn’t end up using because I didn’t like the end result. So I’ve decided to try and make my own.
And I’m sharing it with you today for FREE.
Instagram is a highly visual platform, so aesthetics are quite important.
It doesn’t mean every photo needs to be staged or a perfectly arranged layout.
In fact, the instant, spontaneous photos perform really well.
But you can give them a boost with this preset so that they look brighter and warmer.
My Bright Minimal preset is perfect for a lot of different types of photos: portraits, flatlays, scenery, home interiors etc.
If you are new around here, make sure to check out these other FREE presets that I have on my blog:
Pssst. I now also have over 15 sets of presets that I think you will love:
