“People are nicer than you think.”

The whole idea behind the work — walk up, say hello, make a friend.

Presets — the look, for your photos

The Look

Every photo on this page runs on the same color: blacks that stand out, warm skin, colors that pop like golden hour never ended. That look is now a preset pack — Ocean Blue, Lucca's own settings, straight from his camera roll to yours.

  • The grade — crushed blacks, warm highlights, color that stands up, the way his feed looks
  • One click, then yours — drop it on a photo and tune exposure to taste; it holds up on faces, streets and sunsets
  • Lightroom ready — made for Lightroom on phone and desktop

Drag the photo to see it raw vs. graded — that's the actual cover shot from this site, before and after.
