Red Bull Gaming: 2023-2026
Red Bull Home Ground is an annual international VALORANT e-sports tournament known for its unique format.
Experienced Visuals worked with Red Bull Gaming on Red Bull Home Ground, their regional Valorant eSports series. Ryan Muir documented the weekend’s matches, capturing the energy, the players, and the rivalries that make these competitions feel like more than just games — showcasing the community and culture around it all.
Ryan also photographed all the international teams on Media Day for their matchup graphics, creating assets that were used across the tournament’s digital platforms. This highlights the broad skillset we bring to new media spaces, from live-action storytelling to high-impact promotional content.
Kumite 2023
The Street Fighter 6 Kumite tournament in Brooklyn presented a focused, high-intensity environment built around speed, spectacle, and technical precision “Kumite” is a Japanese term that literally means “grappling hands” or “meeting of hands”, and in martial arts, it refers to sparring or fighting practice. Red Bull has adopted the term for their global fighting game tournament.
Staged for both in-person energy and livestream clarity, the production required a visual approach capable of responding in real time to unpredictable rhythms and player dynamics. Muir’s background in concert and performance photography made him especially well-suited to this format. His instincts for pacing, light, and crowd movement allowed him to produce images that communicated the tension and cultural weight of the event without relying on post-fabrication.
