Director note
The numbers are the subject. Every frame has one oversized numeral and the athlete is cropped to serve it. Keep the league fictional all the way down: kits, crests, sponsors, names. If it starts to read as a SaaS dashboard, add the floodlight and the card frame back; if it starts to read as a real broadcast, take the sponsor out.

About this brief
How do I photograph the Sports-Game UI aesthetic?

Shoot the athlete like a card and the room like a broadcast, then let the numbers lead.

The numbers are the subject. Every frame has one oversized numeral and the athlete is cropped to serve it. Keep the league fictional all the way down: kits, crests, sponsors, names. If it starts to read as a SaaS dashboard, add the floodlight and the card frame back; if it starts to read as a real broadcast, take the sponsor out.

Director's note

What shots should I get for a Sports-Game UI photo shoot?

Leave with every frame on this list.

Shot list

  1. Scoreboard: a fictional match-day scoreboard band in stadium white on ink black, two team colours in signal red and electric blue, tabular numerals oversized, one gold accent for the leader
  2. Player card: a single athlete silhouette cropped fast at the shoulder against a floodlight glare, gold foil frame, a giant numeral, condensed caps label zone
  3. Match day: a wide stadium under floodlights rendered as a broadcast overlay, lower-third panels, glass overlays, no crowd faces readable
  4. Stat sheet: a grid of stat bars and rating numerals on black, red and blue against white, the hierarchy carried by size alone
  5. Trophy: a chrome trophy under a single light on ink black with gold and white bands, the composition of a season-end screen
What lighting works for Sports-Game UI photography?

Stadium floodlight: hard, top-heavy, with glare and a cool blue fill, so skin and kit read as broadcast rather than editorial. Overlays are lit by their own glass. Gold is the only warm light and it belongs to the trophy.
