Time Stands Still (X100V)
I first posted these images over on The Kage Collective, which I'm a member of, but I wanted to share them here.
The "work from home" directive ended for us in the UK last week, and I happened to be in London when people came out, blurry-eyed from their enforced stay-at-home period.
I shot these images in the space of around 30 minutes on one block near Picadilly in central London.
Shot with the X100V at slow shutter speeds, which meant I had to activate the handy built-in ND filter.
The mood was still gritty. People seemed to be still wary of each other. They were stepping around others, wearing masks accordingly, too. The feel of the place is more vibrant, but it still feels a little like we haven't quite come out of the shadows yet.
And so, the idea of pace, movement and mood drew me to create a small photo essay to portray these senses.
A complete foundational Film Edition bundle for Lightroom
Film Edition 1 & 2 Bundle brings together the first two Kevin Mullins Film Edition Lightroom preset collections, giving you the foundational packs that started my film-inspired editing range. It includes a mix of black-and-white looks, colour film styles, profile-based processes, Legends presets, utilities, and noise-reduction tools.
This is not a bundle of random slider-based presets. Both packs are built around carefully crafted, profile-based processes designed to give your images a more natural, film-inspired starting point in Lightroom. Film Edition 1 leans into subtle black-and-white film emulation with bonus colour looks, while Film Edition 2 expands the system with a broader set of colour and monochrome profiles, plus the first Legends presets.
If you want a simple, lower-cost way into the Kevin Mullins Presets range, this bundle is a good starting point. It does not include the newer Film Edition 3, 4, or 5 packs, nor the later AI-powered utilities, but it does give you the original profile-led film workflow that the later collections grew from.
