Kara Marie’s Badass B+W Lightroom Preset Collection

As a black and white specialized photographer, I’ve made monochrome my jam for years.

After many requests and lots of fine-tuning, I’m thrilled to present you with twelve Lightroom presets for your raw images that will make your little black and white heart skip a beat.

With six original presets plus an additional variation with grain for each, you’ll have plenty of options to play with.

All twelve Lightroom presets can be fully tweaked to your liking and shoot style and are created to work with raw files.

KMBW Make it Fashion A high impact, high contrast black and white that deepens the blacks and shadows substantially, slightly brightens whites and adds a fashion edge to your images. Works amazing on images that already have a lot of dimension. Contains both a clean preset and a grain preset.

KMBW Classic, Dahhling A timeless black and white that adds a pop of contrast, deepens the red channel for a subtle old Hollywood feel and enhances the clarity. Contains both a clean preset and a grain preset.

KMBW Matte-r of Fact With a nod to yesteryear, Matte-r of Fact produces a heavy fade curve with significantly reduced highlights creating a rich matte finish. Contains both a clean preset and a grain preset.

KMBW Grey Matte-r A “mini-matte”, preset, Grey Matte-r significantly drops the highlights reduces contrast and enhances texture for a muted finish. Contains both a clean preset and a grain preset.

KMBW Heavenly Just like it sounds, “Heavenly” creates a bright glow by increasing highlights, brightening whites, minimizing texture, and giving images an angelic finish. This preset looks incredible on images that already contain heavy whites and highlights. Contains both a clean preset and a grain preset.

KMBW California Girl An easy-going black and white that looks amazing on all types of images. This preset drops the highlights and slightly deepens the shadows for a smooth and agreeable monochrome. Contains both a clean preset and a grain preset.
