Portraits Urbains de Rue

As a Londoner, I wanted to create Templates that represent both what Londoners see and how they feel: sleek, urban, and expansive.

From deep dark blacks to warm sunny colors, these are the Templates I use on my photos. Your street images and portraits will benefit from them too.

My specialty is a long-form documentary, portraiture, and street photography, and that’s what I based this Templates Collection on.

After years of work and practice, I’ve established my iconic black and white style, with deep shadows and blown-out highlights.

The contrast between them is what makes this style so captivating.

Another style I adore is cinematic grain, which is great for both portraits and street photography. In this Templates Collection, you’ll find a few variations of this style that will perfectly complement your photos.

These 12 Templates inspire me to create more, and hopefully, they’ll do the same for you.

Black and White Film Sketches — Get a classic black and white film aesthetic that’s gritty and brutal.

Desaturated Portrait — Make your portraits dark and powerful by dropping the color and pushing the contrast.

Documentary Street Photo — Achieve a classic film documentary look for timeless feel from the streets of London.

Film Colour Look — I love shooting film, so I created a colorful grainy Template to imitate film, with warm skin tones and deep colors.

Flat Grainy Black and White — Use this Template to get a nice flat black and white look. This is how I see London: flat, deep shadows and blacks, and grain.

Golden Hour — This Template pushes the strong deep sunny tones by enhancing the oranges and yellows to make images warm and dreamlike, just like any golden hour.

High Contrast Black and White — Achieve my ionic black and white style with deep black shadows, blown-out highlights, and beautifully deep contrast between the two.

Soft Glow Street — This Template is amazing for soft shots, as it drops the contrast and color and increases the warm tones to create a dreamy glow effect.

Soft High Contrast Black and White — Think of this as a moody Instagram filter on steroids, bringing an iconic film aesthetic.

Soft Portrait Film Look — Create a warm dreamlike film Template in any of your portrait images, pulling the shadows to add depth.

Soft Portrait — This is the classic soft portrait look, with warm colors with a filter to create a beautifully simple look that makes beautiful any image.

Sunbleached – Slightly changing the temperature and dropping the contrast makes this Template faded but beautifully warm, just like the beachfront.
