Work for Free? Take a look at this Diagram to Help You Out

The question that a lot of us are asking and that sometimes we could not find the right answer to it.

Jessica Hische uses this graphic to help out on why you should or not work for free.

This graphic seems to be making its way around the photography internet I also couldn’t help on had it to LightingMods as it's true and hilarious at the same time.

Many people will often ask me if they should do certain shoots for free as they build their careers, but I always steer them clear unless there is a DIRECTLY beneficial or charitable outcome from the project.

Anyway, this diagram is pretty hilarious, while also giving pretty accurate advice.

Hope it will help you out and clear some of your doubts concerning Working for Free.

LR Preset: Silver Lining, Strangers Collection & Farewell to Arms

First post of 2011.

Hope everyone got a great Holiday Season and some peace has come to mind. My heart is broken in two with what is happening in Australia and Brazil so to them also goes a BIG positive thinking and hope all goes well after the country dries out.

Today I bring you 3 more FREE presets you can use on your Lightroom to give a plus+ to all your images.

I choose Silver Lining, Strangers Collection and Farewell to Arms as I feel some of you might need some BW presets to go along with colored ones.

Enjoy


SILVER LINING

STRANGER COLLECTION

Inside the collection you have:

-Famous Hobo
-Free Bird
-Mastermind
-Old Soul
-Optimist

FAREWELL TO ARMS

LR Preset: Kevin Swan Presets & Magical Presets

Today I'm starting a new chapter on the Lighting Mods blog.

After a lot of people been asking me to make available some FREE Presets for the Adobe Lightroom I decided to create a new section for them.

You can share yours by sending them to me by email or pointing me the link and I will make the proper posting. Please include some examples so other users could see what they look like.

For start here goes 2 from the Free collection that I will be making available.

Enjoy, and have a fantastic Holiday Season!!!!!

We start out with a wonderful set of 21 Presets from Kevin Shaw collection

Here is the Second one for today, an impressive MAGICAL collection of 8 presets.

How to Install Them?

To install the presets in an organized fashion way, so you won't mix them with the pre installed ones, unpack the archive, copy that folder to the presets folder inside the Adobe Lightroom usually:

Windows:
 C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Adobe\Lightroom\Develop Presets



Mac OS: 
Macintosh HD/User/yourusername/Library/ApplicationSupport/Adobe/Lightroom/Develop Presets/

In case you do not find it by this method you can Open Lightroom, go to Edit-->Preferences under Preferences go to Presets tag and choose Show Lightroom Presets Folder. Open that folder and locate Lightroom -->Develop Presets copy or create a new folder to put the presets in. Restart Lightroom and you will have the folder with New Presets you have just created.
