Instagram Lately

I often get questions on how I edit my photos and folks are generally surprised when I tell them I do it all on my iPhone. I thought I’d quickly share more of that process for those who are interested.

To edit my photos this month, I’ve been using Lightroom CC and an exclusive preset created by photographer & influencer Denisse Benitez. I usually use Snapseed, but given that Denisse’ presets were only available in Lightroom, I decided to give it a go. Y’all this preset is so bomb! It encapsulates the warmth of summer, perfectly compliments the July color crush capsule hues, & maintains the integrity of my melanin. Additionally, I love that Lightroom allows me more control over the hue, saturation, & luminance of individual colors. Now that I’m feelin’ my feed more than I have in months, I thought this weekend was a good time for a recap of Instagram lately.
