The maker
Made by a photographer, not a marketing team.
I'm Michiel Heijmans, a street and portrait photographer from Wijchen in the Netherlands. I've done this full time since 2021. I build and test every preset here myself, on real shoots, until the look does what I want. You install it in one click and then fine-tune it to your taste.
You can hear how I look at photography in my podcast 30 Minuten Sluitertijd, which I make with Niels de Kemp.
I’m also the owner of straatfotografie.nl, the friendly community for street photographers in the Netherlands and Belgium.
