Stranger Things Cinematic Effect in Lightroom - Free Preset

In this tutorial I take inspiration from Stranger Things Series 2 and create a cinematic look in Lightroom to match the style of this show. I’m also providing the Lightroom Preset for this effect for free and showing you how to install it.

Creating a movie look in Lightroom is a great technique to spice up your photography. The Stranger Things series is set in the 80’s and many scenes are shot with this dark warm look. What you notice in a lot of scenes is browns in the shadows and light blue/turquois colour in the highlights.

Here we recreate this cinematic effect in Lightroom and create a free Lightroom preset for you to use on your own pictures. Get the preset at the bottom of this page.
