VGCO 1956

Introducing VGCO 1956

Price: $40

Gordon Parks was one of the greatest photographers to ever live. His work documented the Civil Rights Movement, segregation across America, and the everyday lives of Black Americans with a clarity and humanity that changed how people saw their country. His images are part of the historical record in a way that few photographers' work ever becomes.

1956 is a preset pack built in that spirit. The color variant draws from his iconic use of Kodachrome: warm, rich, and grounded. The monochromatic variant is shaped by the characteristics of black and white film stocks of the era. Together they give you two distinct looks with a shared sense of weight and intention.

Includes two main presets, a full set of modifiers, and a user guide. Works with any camera system.
