HEART
CHIVE
A Preset Collection
The Story
A preset built the way I edit.
I didn’t set out to create just another preset. I wanted to protect a feeling. The one I’m always chasing when I lift my camera: soft, warm, a little imperfect and completely honest, while still being gentle and graceful with human skin.
HEARTCHIVE is that feeling, distilled.
It was built with skin tones at its center, so the people in your photographs still look and feel like themselves, just held in really beautiful light. Nostalgic without trying too hard. Cinematic without swallowing the story. Timeless enough that hopefully, years from now, you’ll still find yourself reaching for it.

Made for real light, real skin, real moments

Shadows that breathe instead of block up, highlights that soften right where they’d normally clip — light that feels lived-in, not filtered.
Explore the Collection
DARKROOM, AFTENLYS and EMULSION, all together in one bundle. Three distinct ways of working with light, skin, shadows and feeling, made to move with you through different stories, locations and moods.
AFTENLYS preset
Warm, graceful and created with human skin at its heart.
AFTENLYS is inspired by the last light of the day, when everything becomes a little softer and the colors seem to settle into one another. It creates warm, natural skin tones, creamy highlights and earthy, nostalgic color without becoming too golden or changing the people in front of your camera.
Versatile enough to move between indoor light, open shade, direct sun and golden hour, while still leaving space for your own eye and the light you photographed.
DARKROOM preset
A soft and soulful black and white inspired by old darkroom prints, quiet shadows and photographs found years later in a family album.
DARKROOM creates rich blacks, gentle highlights and luminous skin without feeling overly crisp or digital. The grain and softened contrast leave room for texture, movement and all the tiny details that often carry the most feeling.
Made for intimate moments, window light, quiet motherhood and the photographs that somehow say more once the color is gone.
EMULSION preset
A deeper, more imperfect interpretation of film.
EMULSION brings warmth, grain, softened detail and beautifully weighted shadows into the image. Highlights feel slightly hazy, colors become rich and weathered, and the overall finish carries a little more mood, texture and mystery.
Made for movement, shadows, unusual light and the images that are not asking to be perfect. The ones that feel less like documentation and more like a memory.
