Home: Faded Film Preset Pack — a consistent visual brand for freelance photo work

The gist: If part of your remote income is photography or content creation, this four-preset Lightroom pack cuts editing time to seconds per image while giving your portfolio a signature, professional look.

• Four presets built for client work: Powell targets weddings and portraits (Kodak Portra 160-inspired), Embarcadero handles tricky backlit shoots, and Archer/Hillside cover documentary and black-and-white deliverables — enough range to cover most freelance photo briefs.
• Batch-editing speed: applying a preset across a full shoot in Lightroom turns hours of manual color grading into a single click per image, which matters when you’re billing by the project, not the hour.
• Credentialed creator: made by Reggie Ballesteros, an official Fujifilm X-Photographer whose Fuji X Weekly-featured “Reggie’s Portra” recipe is the site’s most popular — the color science here isn’t guesswork.
• Brand consistency: a repeatable look across every gallery you deliver builds the kind of recognizable style that gets freelancers referred and rebooked.

Fuji X Weekly, which tracks Fujifilm film-simulation recipes, credits Ballesteros’s “Reggie’s Portra” as the most popular recipe on the site as of 2025 — a signal his color grading holds up under scrutiny from working photographers.

Best for: remote/freelance photographers and content creators who want a faster, consistent edit workflow for client deliverables. Skip it if: you don’t shoot Fujifilm or don’t use Lightroom — the presets are tuned around that ecosystem. Runs ~$22 — check the current price before buying.
