When we look at old photographs of our grandparents and great grandparents, there is a sense of nostalgia — whether it’s from the film photograph itself or the feeling of longing, mystery looking at our loved ones at a different time. Our time here is fleeting. Memories fade, and the cliché is true that photographs are all we are left with. That is why Mari created Impermanence. To embody the feeling of transience in the photographs, we create today. Grainy, film-like presets that make us feel the way we feel when we look at loved one’s old photographs tucked away in a dust-covered trunk in the attic. Remembering this human experience is a short one, and these snapshots are all that is left.

l've built these presets as a wedding photographer specifically to help me get through a wedding day. l've never been able to just click a preset and have it look exactly how I want to see it in my head so I created a set of presets of how I want my photographs to look and feel. Whether you want to use these as is or put your own spin on them, l'm confident that they'II be a good start point, especially when you run into some tricky lighting. I honestly just want these to be helpful to you, so if something looks way off, please send it my way so I can help. These have been super helpful for me and massive timesavers as well. I hope they do the same for you.
