I just dropped my very first Lightroom preset for FREE — the one I used to edit Kyle McLaren photos. This preset has been my go-to for creating clean, moody edits with muted tones and a subtle cinematic vibe. I’m calling it “Sunkiss” — it features warm color temps, soft muted tones, a light sun flare in the corner, and layered gradients that brings my photos together. Whether I’m editing portraits, lifestyle shots, or car photography, this preset adds that polished, sun-drenched finish. This is just the beginning — I’ll be releasing more presets soon, along with some editing walkthroughs to give you a peek into how I approach photo edits. Now, why should you download it? Simple… ✅ It’s free (because why not 😂) ✅ It’s designed for click-and-go editing ✅ It adds a moody, professional vibes in seconds ✅ It might just level up your edits with minimal effort ✅ It works great across different lighting conditions and photo styles (slight tweaks in lighting will be needed) Check the link in my bio for the free download — and if you use it, tag me! I’d love to see what you create. Keep shooting and stay inspired 📸 _ tags (ignore): #TAsunkiss #SunkissPreset #LightroomPreset #FreePreset #CarPhotography #McLarenPhotography #SupercarEdits #MoodyCarEdits #CarEditsDaily #McLaren720S #McLarenNation #McLarenLife #GoldenHourCars #PresetDownload #LightroomMobile #WarmTones #MoodyTones #CinematicEdits #PhotoVibes #CarContent #AutoAesthetics #ModifiedCarsDaily #PhotoEditingTools #VisualAesthetic #PresetDrop #PhotoInspo #PresetsOfInstagram #CreativeEdits #TheAestheticz #VisualCreator

Owning a supercar is fun at any age but for me it hits different being young. This Volcano Red MSO spec McLaren isn’t just a car, it’s a symbol of everything I sacrificed. I gave up holidays, birthdays, and an entire generation of memories most people take for granted, just to catch a glimpse of success. For nearly 10 years I worked while the world celebrated. Looking back, I never imagined my life would be where I am today. I’m so thankful for my work-ethic and dedication to never let failure be part of my vocabulary. If you had to give up a decade of holidays, birthdays, and memories to see success, would you do it? Drop your thoughts in the comments, I’d love to hear your perspective.

Another shoot for the year, it’s always good collaring with @ozzyoz_da_vyrus , if you haven’t already, please check out Ozzy anime artwork! I already have a few signed pieces for myself and I plan on getting many more here soon🔥 Now let’s talk about how my camera performed. My camera did good of course, but I ran into 3 obstacles: 1️⃣ Having no gimbal, tripod, or solid surface stabilization. 2️⃣ Horrible lighting 3️⃣ Camera limitations Let’s be honest… the camera is good, but in low lighting scenarios, not so great. I had to bump the ISO to 3200! Lol absolutely insane. Due to this, it created a lot of noise (grain) that I had to counter post-shoot. The camera isn’t top of the line, so the amount of light the sensor lets in isn’t comparable to my previous cameras Ive had. I had to position myself and my arm in a way that I could still capture some great photos where the subject is in focus the way I intended it to be.All and all, I had to improvise this shoot and go with the flow. Needless to say I did manage to get some great shots that I liked! Just had to be more selective, play with editing, though these aren’t sharp like I wanted them to be, it was still a good shoot and I learned about my camera more! Thanks Ozzy for choosing me to take some shots of your car, can’t wait to do the studio shoot 👀 _ #corvette #corvettec8 #c8corvette #corvettesofinstagram #corvettestingray #corvettenation #chevroletcorvette #chevroletperformance #vette #corvetteclub #carsofinsta #carspotting #carphotographer #carstagram #carenthusiast #carsdaily #cars247 #caroftheday #cargram #carlovers #supercar #americanmuscle #musclecar #carswithoutlimits #carshowlife #fastcars #exoticcars #orlando #orlandoflorida #orlandocars

This last set of photos wraps up my shoot with Kyle. The Mclaren 720s will always remain one of my top 3 super cars of all times, the curve appeal and the refined power this car gives just puts it up there in my book. This will not be the last time you see this Mclaren nor Kyle on my page, nor the last time we work together. This is my "returning shoot", so I had to post my favorites, if you would like to see the other shots or download them, click the link above in my bio ⬆️ I am also dropping my editing style (presets) soon for free to be downloaded. It will be coming up in some of my next posts after this!

Another great shot from this shoot! i hate the way IG compress the details and quality, even when you adjust the settings, but I get it. Saves money and space on their end. But these images came out very well! Still impressed by the cameras ability to capture images like these, the dark side may not be the bad side lol.

I was to excited to post these shots! It has been nearly 2 years since I’ve done anything with a camera. The urge to shoot came back, after this long break Ive took.  About 2 years ago I sold all of my equipment which was my Sony A7r IV, Sony G-Master 35mm  Prime Lens, Sony 90mm G Prime Lens, and all of my other equipment and accessories associated with it. I told myself I would pick it back up after I sold everything originally.  I did not anticipate for it to take 2 years to get back into my passion, but it did, life happened in a hard way… Through the process I tried to fill the void and start other small level personal businesses, but I couldnt and didn’t stay consistent with those businesses as my heart didn’t lay with them truly and of course again LIFE happened.  I got a deal on a Cannon Rebel T7 with a 18-55mm Kit Lens from a client/friend for $150. Though it wasn’t a Sony camera like I am accustomed to, it was still a good entry level camera nonetheless.  Ive held my cannon camera on a shelf for 2 months before I reached out to Kyle to work together to snap pictures of his well deserved and earned McLaren 720s. This was my first time actually using it, I had to learn the camera as I was shooting Kyle car, adjusting all the settings and what not to make a great shoot. On the job training is always the best teacher. As I was editing these photos in photoshop and Lightroom and just looking at what I captured, it re-ignited the flame to burn even brighter. I’ve reached out to some amazing models and car owners within Orlando area and I have much planned I cannot disclose just yet. But in the meantime, I want everyone to appreciate this shoot and car as I did.  It’s always a pleasure working with Kyle and once again, congratulations brother! Also its safe to say that The Aestheticz is back… Signed, Mr Aestheticz
