Chasing Winter

Chasing Winter by Samuel Eszenyi — contrast-forward color grading for snowy travel shots

The gist: A three-preset pack built specifically for winter landscapes — mountain trips, snowy road trips, glacier hikes — where flat white snow needs real contrast to look good in a photo.

• Contrast-first approach: All three presets add a rich level of contrast, changing how the darks and lights interact rather than just warming or cooling the image.
• Choice of starting looks: Three distinct presets to start from, so you're not stuck adjusting one single look to fit different winter scenes.
• Built for cold-tone landscapes: Ideal for bright wintery photos, but also noted to work well with green and blue hues — useful for alpine or coastal-winter destinations, not just snowfields.
• Made by a dedicated landscape photographer: Samuel Eszenyi is described on his own creator profile as an adventure and landscape photographer who built this pack from real winter shooting experience.

Per Eszenyi's own product description, the pack brings "a rich level of contrast" to winter landscape images and is built to bring "crisp, clean" life to snowy scenes rather than a flat, gray look.

Best for: Travelers photographing snowy mountains, glaciers, or winter road trips who want contrast-heavy landscape edits. Skip it if: you're shooting warm-climate or tropical destinations — this pack is purpose-built for cold, bright conditions. Runs around $8 — check the current price before buying. Note: digital preset purchases are final.
