Café Lux: Where Coffee Tones Meet Golden Melanin

In 2017, I found myself searching for something that didn’t yet exist. A preset that could capture the essence of what I saw and felt—the richness of melanin, the warmth of coffee tones, and the soft embrace of golden light. Nothing quite worked, so I started creating my own. What began as an experiment turned into a labor of love, spanning three years of trial, error, and endless cups of coffee.

Café Lux was born from that journey. It’s not just a preset; it’s a piece of my story. Inspired by my love for coffee, it captures the richness of mocha hues while allowing greens to pop perfectly, creating a balanced and versatile aesthetic. It’s the late nights tweaking every detail until it felt right. The golden-hour walks where the light hit just so, and I knew I had to recreate that magic. It’s the pride of seeing melanin celebrated in all its beauty, enhanced with tones that feel warm, soulful, and timeless.

Today, I’m sharing Café Lux with you. Because this isn’t just about editing photos; it’s about capturing moments, celebrating stories, and creating something unforgettable.
