Wedding Photography Styles - What is a LUT?

Professional photography in its purest form is dictated by many different things that influence how a shot looks. Time of day or the direction of sunlight and cloud cover, and of course camera settings all influence a look or feel of a photo.

​

So how do professional photographers achieve those special looks that can bring romance, mood or drama to a photo?

​

Well depending on the software that the image editor uses they can have a choice of what are called LUTs or (Look Up Tables).

​

These LUTs control certain settings in the software that can adjust specific colours, saturation, exposure and contrast of an image.

​

And there are hundreds of different LUTs to choose from. But they can be divided into certain categories to make them easier to choose.

​

Wedding photography LUTs are very popular with professional image editors. They can really bring a moment to life or influence how the viewer is meant to feel when looking at an image.

​

I have a few LUTs which are my favorites but if you have a look in mind I can generally match it to a degree.

If you look below you can see my favorite LUTs that I like to use in my wedding photography. Please bare in mind that colours on different PC monitors and smartphones can vary dramatically.
