Case Study of the Amanda Photo Composite
This will help show illustrate the process I went through to create Amanda's Photo Composite.
Here are the stock images that were used or partly used somewhere within the photo.
My New Business Cards
Received my new business cards today.
Uprinting.com was kind enough to send me 250 free business cards of my choice. Huge thanks goes out to Rachel in the customer service department that put up with my multiple emails, letting me have the 250 free prints, and getting the job paid for me. Much love.
I choose the uv-gloss and rounded die-cut corners. Came out perfect and printed exactly how i proofed them. Took a little while to get here because the proofs were approved just before Thanksgiving, but all in all Uprinting.com gets a big thumbs up from me! Will do business with in the future.

3 Free Lightroom Black and White Presets
I have decided to offer up 3 of my Lightroom presets that I often use when converting my images to black and white. These are my presets and are free to use as you please. No one is authorized to sell these. When I do black and white photos I pump the contrast and exposure up so that the scene is a little overexposed to create a more dramatic look to the image. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
The first one is a simple black and white conversion with a stop of exposure added and somewhat decreased shadows.
The second preset, pumps up the contrast and brightness significantly and nearly adds a full 2 stops of exposure to the frame.
The third preset is one that sort of sits between the first two. It adds to the exposure to about 1.5 stops, increases some fill light, little split toning, and adds a bit of vignetting. This one is probably the most used in my black in white photos.
These may or may not fit your images, but I often find that at least one of them fits most of my images at least. You can always apply them as a base to get started, and then tweak the settings to better enhance your image from the preset(s) if needed.
Use the download link to download them. Installation instructions are provided in the readme file.
