Capture One Global Styles - Classic Looks for Portraits & Streets

Gajan Balan Capture One Global Styles — A Portfolio-Grade Color Kit for Freelance Photographers

The gist: Ten Capture One Styles from a working portrait photographer, useful for anyone building a consistent visual brand for client delivery or a photography side-hustle.

• Consistent client output: 10 non-destructive Styles across Reds, Greens, Blues, and Monochrome give repeatable color across a shoot instead of editing each image by hand.
• Capture One workflow: applies inside Capture One Pro's non-destructive pipeline, so edits stay adjustable if a client asks for changes.
• Credentialed creator: built by Gajan Balan, a Leica Camera ambassador and award-winning portrait/street photographer based in Toronto.
• Narrow use case: tuned specifically for portrait and street photography — not a general all-purpose landscape or product pack.

On his Church x Street newsletter, Balan explains he prefers building full Styles over simple presets so the grade survives a real non-destructive retouching workflow — the kind client work demands.

Best for: photographers or content creators already on Capture One who want a fast, professional-looking portrait grade for client galleries. Skip it if: you don't use Capture One Pro, or you shoot mostly product/landscape work. Runs ~$22 — check the current price before buying.
