Perfect for shoots where you want to bring that extra level of elegance, but with traditional B&W edits. This style offers a unique look, without overdoing it. The perfect starting point for any B&W edit.
A black and white style that works well to elevate darkened images, bringing smooth highlights, solid shadows, and exposure lift that gives your image a traditional look. Useful and versatile.
Punchy and opinionated this style has soft highlights, deep shadows, and muted whites that create a modern look. Low clarity keeps skin smooth and creamy, while high edge sharpening preserves detail. Cinematic, polished, and not for everyone — by design. Created by James Broadbent, Founder of Narrative.
