The pack you've been waiting for...

I want to slow down and marvel at the breathtaking beauty of yesterday; to marinate in the decades of images that came before me, when photography was a slow process wrought with intention. Back when imperfection was a part of art making because there was no way to avoid the fumbling human hands that shaped it. I want to go back to when processing images was conjuring ghosts with chemicals. But I can’t go back, and all I have is this digital machine to make art with. These presets are my attempt to reach back in time, an attempt to bring our artistic past into the future.

PRESET CREATOR: 

Sasha Williams 
Sasha is a feral creator raising two magical tornadoes disguised as children with her fiercely wild husband on a farm in rural Alberta Canada. She studied English, Psychology, and Art in University, and in another life (or maybe this one who knows) she would have moved to the UK, got a PhD in mythology and folklore studies, and lived her days chasing fairies and talking to plants. Sasha is an avid book collector, sad song listener, tea drinking, child at heart who often struggles to understand the grown up games we call societal rules. Art is her first language and she aspires to not only to create a career of her artistic pursuits, but also to live a truly artistic life.
