Capturing Youth Tennis in Hong Kong
I’ve known this family for years and have been photographing their spunky daughter for nearly eight years. Recently, I was thrilled to discover she’s now one of the top youth tennis players in Hong Kong. Watching her energy on the court, and capturing it through my lens, was a reminder of how powerful photography can be in documenting kids’ passions as they grow.
Why Photograph Kids Playing Tennis?
Sports aren’t just about competition — they’re about confidence, personality, and joy in action. A great photograph can freeze the determination in a child’s expression, the speed of their serve, or the laughter that comes after a hard-fought rally. These moments are just as meaningful as a posed family portrait, and they make memories families will treasure for years. This girl was also featured on the cover of Expats Magazine a few years ago while I was working with Hong Kong Academy.
Tips for Kids Sports Photography in Hong Kong
Photographing fast-moving sports like tennis can be tricky. Here are a few things I keep in mind when shooting youth tennis in Hong Kong:
Fast shutter speeds are essential to freeze the action. And you need to have very fancy (i.e. expensive!) lenses to work with sports.
Anticipation is everything, you have to think one step ahead of the player to capture the perfect shot.
Angles and expressions matter just as much as technique. I focus on faces, movement, and the emotion of the game, not just the racket swing.

Whether it’s tennis in Kowloon, football in Sai Kung, or basketball on Hong Kong Island, kids’ sports are a fantastic way to showcase their energy and personality. If your child plays tennis, or any sport for that matter, I’d love to capture their story in action. Normally we start with the sports, then wardrobe change and family photos afterward.
