Taylor's 1946 (B&W)

Taylor's 1946 (B&W) LUT — a low-cost signature look for your photo/video portfolio

The gist: For anyone building a freelance photography or content-editing side income, this $10 LUT is a cheap way to give your portfolio a consistent, recognizable style.

• Consistent brand look, fast: the shadow-and-highlight grade creates a dynamic, nostalgic contrast in one click, which matters when you're delivering client edits on a deadline instead of grading from scratch.
• Three exposure levels included: the pack ships with three variants, giving you a starting point across different lighting scenarios — useful when client footage isn't shot to spec.
• Portrait-friendly grade: tuned for moody lighting and smooth skin tones, which suits headshots, interview b-roll, and personal-brand content clients often request.
• No extra software cost: works with standard LUT-import workflows in common editors, so it's a low-risk add to an existing freelance toolkit.

The LUT is created by Taylor Pendleton, a self-taught filmmaker and photographer at Moment recognized for a style that blends nostalgic and modern, technically imperfect and polished work.

Best for: freelance editors and content creators who want a signature black-and-white look to differentiate their portfolio. Skip it if: your client work is mostly bright, commercial color content — this grade is built for contrast, not brightness. Runs ~$10 — check the current price before buying.
