Sports Digital Backgrounds and Backdrops

What is in this collection

Team sets for four to six people: an ice hockey rink with a red goal and white boards, an oak locker room with a padded navy bench, a grass tennis court with a white net and timber pavilion, and a rowing boathouse with racing shells and oars beside open river doors. Sets for one to three: a boxing ring under a single spotlight in a dark brick gym, a gymnastics hall with a balance beam and uneven bars, a bouldering wall with colourful holds, a concrete skate park bowl at sunset, a golf putting green with a red pin flag, and a tennis club courtside bench with pastel balloons for a sporty party.

Team photos, player portraits and parties

As sports photography backgrounds, these scenes let you shoot a team or a single athlete on a plain backdrop at the club, then place them into a rink, a locker room or a ring. Photograph every player under the same light so the whole squad matches, and use the locker room bench for a seated front row. As sports photo booth backgrounds they suit end-of-season parties, fight nights, climbing parties and summer tennis parties; the tennis courtside set with balloons is made for an 18th birthday, and the golf green suits Father's Day and retirements. For custom player cards, the trading card collection shares the gymnastics hall and skate bowl and adds fantasy arenas. Print layouts are covered on photo booth backgrounds.

Tips for using these scenes

• Match arena light from above. The hockey rink, gymnastics hall and boxing ring are lit from overhead, so shoot or grade your players with top light and soft shadows under the brows, not flat front light.
• Fit the team in rows. The team sets hold four to six standing; for a bigger squad, shoot two rows, seat the front row on the locker room bench, and use the landscape file.
• Add the team name in your layout. Every venue is unbranded, with no league logos or sponsor boards, so add your own team name, numbers and season in your print, poster or booth template.
