About this pack

Nirav Patel shoots black and white like a filmmaker. Lotus has deep contrast with soft transitions, so mid-greys keep detail and highlights stay clean. His references were films like Roma and Ida and the restrained look of 60s and 70s photojournalism.

The result is quiet and emotional, not graphic. Contrast is flexible enough that the same preset works under flat window light and hard sun.

Two signature B&W presets plus workflow modifiers for fine-tuning. Lightroom Classic, Lightroom CC and ACR. A good fit for a consistent monochrome edit across a whole wedding day, or for documentary work in mixed light.
