about jared platt
I am a professional wedding and portrait photographer from Phoenix, Arizona. I hold a Masters of Fine Arts in the Photographic Studies and a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Photography from Arizona State University. I teach photography at the college level and to professionals everywhere. My portfolio can be seen at www.plattphotography.com.
I was raised in a small town in northern Arizona where I took my first photographs at the age of seventeen. I fell in love with photography immediately and pursued the art from that day on. I have never done anything else. It's like I have never had a real job. I am blessed to labor at something I love. I have so much passion and excitement for the subject that it can't help but spills out into my photography. This passion is why I lecture and teach on the subject of photography at conferences and in small workshops and seminars. My audiences are made up of students, professionals and serious amateurs all over the world. My most recent lecture was given in Hong Kong at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

lightroom presets
The all new TOP SECRET Preset Collection for Adobe Lightroom 3.0 will be available soon for purchase and download. This collection of presets for Adobe Lightroom was developed as a companion to the popular Essential Preset Collection. Get stunningly beautiful image effects with the same efficiency and quality standards you have come to expect from Jared Platt's Lightroom Presets.

And yes, the presets will also work in previous versions of lightroom, although there are some obvious tool advancements in Lightroom 3 that will not operate if using them in LR 2.6 and earlier. My advice is to upgrade to LR 3.0. It is faster and better that any previous version. Just do it.
The essential lightroom presets
The all new The Essential Preset Collection for Adobe Lightroom 2.4 is available for purchase and download. This collection of presets for Adobe Lightroom was developed to speed up your workflow and create high quality images. You will not find a better set of presets out there for speeding you through your every day image adjustments.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
"I love the presets. They are truly a time saver and they make my proofs look like finish images." - David Medina
