26 Photo Presets for Action, Sidelines, and High-Impact Storytelling

Threads of Light: Sport Edition is a curated collection of 26 professional photo presets built for storytellers capturing the emotional heartbeat of sport. These are the same presets I’ve used in work for FIFA, MLS, top-tier clubs, and major sports events, shaped through real-world editing across stadiums, tunnels, and pregame rituals.

This pack delivers cinematic color, gritty textures, and striking mood across a wide range of lighting environments — from the golden glow of warmups to harsh contrast in high noon action. Designed to bring intensity and identity to your frames, these presets highlight player emotion, fan passion, and game-day atmosphere with precision and punch.

These are not one-click fixes. Every image I edit takes time and attention after applying a preset. These tools are a starting point for your process, not the end.

You will still need to

• adjust white balance based on your scene

• tune contrast, shadows, and highlights

• tweak HSL settings to match the tones of your camera and environment

• refine skin tones, lighting, and fabrics manually

This is the same process I use to create the recognized look of my work.

I’ve shot with Sony, Nikon, Canon, Fuji, and more. What works perfectly on one sensor may need fine-tuning on another. But these presets were designed with flexibility and care so you can adapt them to your camera with ease.

Presets included span warm cinematic tones, sharp black and whites, moody tunnel edits, tan-green mixes for player tattoos, cool tones for roof shots, and clean high-energy edits for action and celebration.

These presets are ideal for sports photographers, social media creators, club content teams, or any visual storyteller looking to elevate their game-day edits with polish and impact.
