Definitely an interesting perspective! It's obviously not a lined field, is this just outside of a building with a balcony, a crane, or what??

I would stage the shoot by having one player or more laying down and acting like there playing, with a ball in the shoot. JMHO

It's a "multi function game field" beneath a bridge. In other words, it's a plain grass field, and some dudes occasionally play soccer there. Leaning over the bridge's handrail gives this perspective.

Nothing staged here. Doing so would mean to create a totally different shot.

cheers

Just as an addition. Here's a picture of the mentioned bridge, and you can see the soccer field below.

Thanks. Well, just stop on any bridge you pass and see what's beneath. :)

cheers

try and catch a game from this perspective...might set some interesting shots. Especially if you have a lens with the right reach!

Hi Superdiver. Well, I think that would get me some soccer shots with a unusual perspective. Yet, they would be soccer shots. I was going more for the surprise effect, the attempt to show you something you most probably wouldn't shoot yourself. Therefore, it makes very much sense to me to not have a ball included, and not showing s "simple" soccer scene. But I am sure someone else will pick up the idea and make sport fotos from this perspective. :)
Thanks for your comment.

cheers
