People and Places, the town archive in two boxes

Who, where, what light.

People and Places is a library for the two jobs a town pays for: faces in every light, weddings, schools and sport, then buildings, rooms, streets and cities. Works in the free Lightroom app on iPhone and Android, and in Lightroom Classic.

For photographers paid for both people and places, often on the same day.

A face in the street. Contrast firm, skin unflattered, the city left in.

open

One box, opened

Where: the alley, after work

Where: the bridge, grey sky

Who: a face. What light: the window.

Box one, people. The studio collections are filed by the pattern you lit, broad and short, butterfly, clamshell, loop, Rembrandt, split, hard fresnel and rim, and each finishes the skin for that pattern. Skin gets its own row: Dark Skin lifts deep tones without greying, Pale Skin controls the redness, Studio Skin trims the flush, Window Seat warms the indoor portrait and leaves the contrast near flat. Then the bookings: newborns at home, backstage candids, graduations with the gowns alive, ceremony halls neutralised, dance floors with the gel wash tamed, the family group in open shade, the school run, the stage face pulled back to skin. Sport runs from the arena sand to the weight room with the lamp cast gone and the faces readable.

Box two, places. Listing Bright and Bright Room for property, Glass Tower, Old Stone, Book Corner, the dark and industrial rooms, the museum, and one collection per detail: brick, vault, door, rail, roof, stair, tile, window. Street and travel finish the box: Street Face, Subway Tile, Wet Asphalt, Grain Witness, Market Stall, Souk Lantern, then the documentary edge, Empty Lot, Midday Flat, New Topographic, Balloon Dawn, Border Road, Temple Shade.

Not in either box: the exclusive sets, Beauty Clean, Swaddle Studio, Pet Portrait and Chalk Hold on the people side, Stained Glass, Hotel Lobby and Rooftop View on the places side, each sold on one specialist page only. The People Library and the Places Library are the two boxes sold separately; Lighting Patterns, Wedding and Family Card, Buildings and Rooms and Portrait and Family are smaller drawers again. This archive is both boxes.

the maker

Why I Make These

I am Netzah Elad Topaz. I take photographs and I build software, and the two keep leading me back to the same problem. You were there. The light was doing something you will not see again. Then the photo comes back flat, and it is not what you were looking at.

Closing that gap is the whole job. Every preset here is built from Adobe defaults by hand, with a written note for what it should do to a picture, and it is judged on real photographs before it ships. Nothing is a filter dropped on top of your work.

What I want is simple. You open a photo you almost gave up on, you tap once, and there it is: the day you remember, not the file your camera handed you. That is worth doing properly.
