3. Take a drink of water because no big
4. Apply the Brittley Fuji preset and the Overhead Light preset
Step 2: Apply your favorite 1-click preset or do the 10 second edit
Brittley Fuji is a go-to for most of our BPS fam because you can use this 1-click preset in any and every situation!
Beautiful greens? Yeah, it rocks those, too.
That’s what we’re about over here. No fake greens. No way. Don’t worry, friend! We got your back and we’ll make sure your skin tones and greens are up to par with your film work. And if you don’t shoot film? Well, no one will ever know. Including the big blogs and magazines.

Insider tip — Once you’re familiar with BPS, find your go-to 1-click preset and use the 10 second edit for trickier images. Or those times when you just want to experiment and try something new. You know, because you’re creative and you can do that.

2. Don’t worry about pulling out the flash and blinding everyone
3. Shoot & cull with a peach tranquility tea because #nostress

Step 3: Apply the Overhead Light preset from the Saturation group. BAM.
I don’t say “bam” very often even though it’s probably my biggest writing temptation. I’ve got to reserve that word for special times. Like this one.
Because Overhead Light? It’s your best friend when you have a tricky mixed lighting situation happening.
Insider tip — Brittley Fuji and Overhead Light go well together when you’re dealing with mixed lighting. When you’re shooting indoors with hardly any natural light, this combination will be a go-to.
