Introducing: MICHAEL AND MATT PRESETS (The Travel Pack)
ALL NEW TRAVEL PRESETS!
Perfect Presets for Instagram, Travel Influencers, and Travel Photography
Feeling PROUD... of myself, of us, just all around a feeling of gratitude is what I’m experiencing this morning. We just released our FIRST EVER Lightroom preset pack for photo editing (available now on our blog & insta-stories) and I have A LOT of emotions about it.
My editing style is something I’ve guarded with iron fists over the years. My edits felt like this top-secret recipe I couldn’t share, they are like my babies. I’m realizing now this sounds silly, but wow, if you’re into photography—maybe you can relate!? I’ve been so hesitant to share how I edit photos because I believed it was the only thing that really set me apart and made me unique as a photographer (it’s hard to stand out in a supersaturated field!).... I understand how this was really due to a lack of confidence in myself and in my work, and working in the industry I’ve given this a lot of mental energy thinking it though.
OUR STRENGTH AND VALUE IS DERIVED FROM WHAT WE SHARE, not from what we keep secret and in the dark. “How do you edit?” is one of the most frequent questions we’ve gotten—and I’m just really happy that now I have a clear and truly helpful response.
I hope that these presets challenge you in your photography learning process. I hope that they help you see light in a different way, and I hope they take your photography to the next level!! All of our success is community based, so us as a community succeeding is something to celebrate. I’m really excited to share more and more of how I approach travel and portrait photography—and I’m particularly excited for our group Thailand trip in December, where we’ll be teaching hands-on photography and editing in one of the most beautiful places on earth.
The pack includes 10 Presets:
1. Bay Side
2. Cobblestone
3. Canopy
4. Head in the Clouds
5. Mediterranean
6. Isla
7. On the Rocks
8. Splash
9. Horizon
10. Retrograde
The Michael & Matt Travel Pack contains all of our favorite presets we’ve used to edit our Instagram pictures. Through traveling together over the last 5 years, we’ve developed these presets as our “go-to’s” no matter where in the world we may be. We designed these presets to help take your photography to the next level with stunning edits in just a few simple clicks.
Inside the pack you will find 1 ZIP file complete with 10 Lightroom desktop preset files. PLEASE NOTE - This pack is for desktop/laptop only and will not work on Lightroom mobile. Presets work for both RAW and JPEG images.
These presets greatly enhance contrast and color while conserving essential natural tones, giving a less-edited authentic feel while exhibiting deep shadows and striking highlights. We particularly love how they work with blues, oranges and greens. Photos taken in full-sun, ambient light and shade work well with these presets, but backlit and golden-hour shots are our favorite. Whether rain or shine, these presets will make your photos truly stand out with a vibrant and crisp touch.

So you’re looking to visit Helsinki, and possibly Finland for the very first time. Where do we start!? For a country with only 5.5 million people, Finland surely packs in a ton of culture. Helsinki is located at the edge of the Baltic Sea, with its vast archipelago stretching nearly to the shores of Sweden. Whether you’re visiting during the warm and humid summer where it stays light until the wee hours of the morning, of you’re heading there to see the snow and Northern Lights, Helsinki has something to offer for everyone.
