Backstage Pass: Lightroom Presets
I created the Backstage Pass presets while on an 8-week North American tour as a concert photographer because I needed a versatile preset I could quickly apply to meet a fast turnaround, that still held up to the quality and consistent style I wanted across all my tour content!
WHAT YOU GET
- 6 Variant Presets (.XMP files) for different looks and lighting conditions:
- Backstage Pass - standard base preset
- Backstage Pass: Faded Film - softer contrast for a vintage look
- Backstage Pass: Muted Blue - richer shadows and cool-toned whites
- Backstage Pass: Warm - emphasis on orange + red tones to balance out blue lighting/white balance
- Backstage Pass: Cool - super cool-toned edit to balance out very warm lighting/white balance
- Backstage Pass: Black & White
- Installation Guide and User Notes
These presets are compatible with all versions of Lightroom (Classic, Desktop, and Mobile) and defined by their vibrant warm tones and skin-softening glow. They enhance stage lighting, making colours pop without overpowering the shot, and add soft contrast for a vintage, nostalgic look. While they were created for concert photography, they also work beautifully for portraits and event photos.
Backstage Pass has been road-tested in real-world conditions: backstage, photo pits, festivals, and more! Whether you’re shooting in daylight, stage lights, or with flash, they’re designed to save time without sacrificing the vibe - making them perfect for live music photographers and anyone needing reliable, efficient edits on the go.
Note: Because this is a digital product, there will be no refunds or exchanges. Make sure your Lightroom is fully updated, as this preset pack may not be compatible with out-of-date or pirated versions!
