“Ground Game” is street photography from the pavement up. These shots are captured low and tight, using shallow depth of field to highlight reflections, textures, and colors often overlooked. Usually taken at night, after rain, when the city glows—this style pulls beauty out of the blur, mood out of the mundane. It’s not just a technique—it’s a perspective. A way of seeing the city from the ground level, where light meets grit. As the story goes, the term “Ground Game” was coined by Doug Ruhl. But the movement? That’s still unfolding.
