DC (Custom) PRESETS

A note from Dawn...

After my first editing class in art school, I knew it would become one of my favorite parts of photography. For the last 7 years I’ve released my own presets, and collaborated with 8 professional photographers to create presets for their communities. Through that time, I would get Instagram DM’s asking for custom presets, but the timing never felt right… until now.

I am so excited to finally open up the opportunity for you to become part of the DC Preset community by helping you create your very own custom presets.

Fill out the short application below and apply to work with me and create custom presets that feel like a perfect match for your editing style. I can’t wait to see what magic we can make together!

Interested in selling the presets you create? 

DC Custom Presets are for personal use only. However, if you’re interested in creating, marketing and selling presets, DC Collaboration Packs might be a better fit for you. Collab packs are for photographers who have built a substantial online community and are eager to invest in the preset creation process. View current DC Collaboration Packs and read more information about creating one here.

We're blown away by the response and have filled the next few months, so we are no longer taking applications. But if you are interested in Custom Presets in the future, please add your name to the waitlist. I am eager to work with you in the future and help you bring your preset dreams to life.
