| Dynamic images are created through different perspectives: Don’t just take photos from above, but also get down to eye level with the players or even lower. This conveys a feeling of intensity and closeness. |
Don’t shoot exclusively from above: that can make the players look small and make you ‘look down on them’. |
| Focus on action and emotions; capture the sport and the dynamics of the game: Dribbles, throws, defence actions and the emotions of the players. |
Avoid excessive focus on the wheelchair itself instead of the action: the sport takes centre stage, not the aid. |
| Make sure to capture the entire player and wheelchair: this makes it clear that it is wheelchair basketball and the sport comes across authentically. |
Don’t only show the upper body or head: this obscures the special nature of the sport. |
| If you want to show details, then only as part of the overall sporting moment or game situation. |
Avoid close-ups of prostheses, wheelchair wheels or special aids without context: no unnecessary focus on the disability. |
| Focus on the action or the moment after a fall or vulnerable situation when the players get up again or are supported. |
Don’t take photos of athletes in vulnerable situations or falls that could appear inappropriate: pay attention to discretion in the event of falls or injuries |
