Although Photography is most well known as a physical medium and art form, it has become increasingly common in the world of video games under the guise of “Photo Mode”
Much like real photography, screenshotting allows an artistic view and expression through a still image - but with game engines, the possibilities are simply incredible and transcend physical limitations - The artist can modify many aspects on a whim, and change parameters of a scene instantly like a 3-dimensional canvas.
Just as with real photography principles, I love to capture moments, environments, emotions and characters that breath a life of their own virtually.
