A9 Urban Neutral | Street Photography Film Preset for Lightroom Desktop & Mobile

A9 is for street photographers and architecture photographers who want the quality of analog film without the warm color shift that most film presets apply.

For photographers in cities — particularly Northern European, Japanese, or any urban environment where the cool ambient light is part of the aesthetic.

For documentary photographers who want a clean, neutral foundation rather than the warm, lifestyle quality of the rest of the collection.

For photographers who have tried the other presets and found them too warm. A9 is the answer.

It is the only cool-neutral preset in the collection. Every other A-Series preset leans warm. A9 gives photographers who want a neutral-to-cool analog quality the option within the same color ecosystem.

It suits street and documentary photography specifically. The visual language of documentary photography — the work of the photographers who defined what street photography looks like — is often neutral or cool. A9 references that tradition directly.

It pairs well with A1 for a neutral analog system. A1 (neutral warm) plus A9 (neutral cool) covers the neutral analog spectrum — warm conditions with A1, cool or neutral conditions with A9, consistent color philosophy throughout.

It works for urban architecture. The cool, precise quality of A9 suits geometric, hard-edged subjects. Buildings, streets, urban infrastructure — A9 gives them the clean analog quality that warm presets cannot.

Will A9 look too cold on portrait photography? A9 is less flattering for portrait skin tones than the warmer presets in the collection. For portraits, A6 or A4 produce better results. A9 is optimized for street, documentary, and architectural subjects.

What is the difference between A9 and the moody presets? A9 is a neutral analog preset — no heavy Color Grading, no crushed blacks, no obvious atmospheric effect. Moody presets have deep shadows, strong Color Grading, and a deliberate atmospheric quality. A9 is clean and neutral; moody presets are expressive and atmospheric.
