1. Show off your moves with a spotlight photoshoot

A simple black backdrop with a bright spotlight can be a very visually appealing and straightforward way to do a tennis shoot. Simply pose with your athletic gear and racket and stand in a spotlight; you could even add a little sweat to evoke a feeling of being right in the action.

Most of us don’t have access to everything we need for a spotlight shoot and that’s where Peerspace comes in. Take a look at this spacious studio with a pre-rigged RGB LED lighting package in Brooklyn, NYC. It has what you need to make this idea a reality.

2. Add an edgy element and plan a graffiti photoshoot

Sometimes what you need to separate your tennis photoshoot idea from the rest is to take it far away from the court. Posing in front of a graffiti wall or having some action shots of you practicing against it could be unique ways to add the splash of color that can sometimes be missing on the court.

Coordinate your outfit to match some of the graffiti, like at this urban warehouse production space in Baltimore, MD, which has 4,000 square feet for you to use. It has the vibes you need and comes in at just $39 per hour.

3. Plan a throwback vintage tennis outfit photoshoot

One thing about tennis that has evolved quite a bit is the outfits that the players wear. Everything vintage is cool these days, so getting your hands on a vintage tennis outfit and doing a throwback photoshoot is a definite ace.

Take it even further and take some photos in a vintage-inspired backdrop such as a mid-century modern retro living room set in Phoenix, AZ. With the right filters, you can create something that looks like an authentic 1950s photo.

4. Show off your trophies in a stunning natural light setting

If you’re a real tennis star and want to show off all your awards and trophies, then a photoshoot can be an awesome way to do that. Instead of posing in front of them in just any old place, you could try a location like this bright and elegant loft in Toronto, ON! Just think about how much better your trophies will look bathed in natural light and surrounded by high-end furniture.

5. Go futuristic with a neon photoshoot

Sometimes tennis can feel like it’s been stuck in the same era since its inception. One way you can take it into the future is with a next-generation neon photoshoot. The yellow of the tennis ball is just one of the colors you could experiment with!

This creative space near the Las Vegas strip has tons of cool neons that you could work with. Creative tennis photoshoot ideas like this help you stand out from the rest.

6. Bask in the golden hour light with a sunset photoshoot

There is nothing quite like a sunset in terms of a beautiful backdrop for any photoshoot. Take full advantage of that and find a spot on the court or even on a hike. Just be sure to display your tennis gear prominently and upfront – the beautiful palette of colors that a sunset creates will be more than enough to make it pop.

7. Take photos chilling at the country club bar

After a hard game of tennis, is there anything better than going back to relax with a couple of drinks? Capturing that moment without all the sweat and strangers at the bar could be a really interesting tennis photoshoot idea.

If you don’t have access to a private bar to shoot in, don’t worry – Peerspace has plenty to choose from. This hidden gem in Denver, CO is just one of the many that would be an ideal location. Its color palette and rustic vibes make it a popular choice for all types of shoots. And it’s definitely a unique option for all of your tennis photoshoot ideas.

8. Catch eyes with a monochromatic photoshoot

Tennis has a couple of signature colors that are really interesting and vibrant. You have the neon yellow of a tennis ball, the deep green of your standard court, and the moody reds and browns of a clay court. By coordinating an outfit and your tennis gear to one of these colors, you can make some visually stunning pictures with matching or clashing color combinations.

9. Be your hero for the day with a fun cosplay photoshoot

If you’re an absolute tennis buff then you’ve undoubtedly got a favorite player, real or fictional. This is a perfect opportunity to get an interesting photoshoot going and absolutely transform yourself into your idol with some iconic outfits. Along with all the fun commercials athletes have done, there is a plethora of inspiration to draw from here.

10. Let your imagination run wild with a green screen photoshoot

If your ideas for your tennis photoshoot are a little bit harder to recreate, then a proper green screen studio can allow your imagination to run wild! Put yourself at Wimbledon or the French Open, or maybe up against your dream rival.

Don’t think that a green screen is going to be large enough for your tennis dreams? This huge green screen space in Houston, TX has almost enough for half of a tennis court in there and more than enough space to model your serve.

11. Head to the court and create a unique pinstripe photoshoot

A tennis court has a lot of straight lines and boxes to delineate the area of play. You can do something visually interesting by wearing an outfit with striped or even some square or rectangular patterns to emulate the look of a tennis court. Do this one on the court for even more visual comparisons.

12. Show off your fitness with a workout photoshoot

Tennis isn’t all fun and games! Sometimes you just want to show off those gains you’ve been achieving in the gym. You can get a whole photoshoot of you in your favorite workout gear doing whatever you need to do to limber up for the court. It’s not easy to find a private gym for a photoshoot, but Peerspace has you covered with spaces like this beautiful private gym with plenty of natural lighting in Nashville, TN.
