Aug 24, 2019 · It’s worth reiterating the fact that videogame developers are actively investing in virtual photography. Titles like Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2 cost in the region of $200 million apiece to make, but developer Rockstar Games sees sufficient demand for (and value in) the art form that it devotes a sizable part of that budget ...

A notable difference between the photos you take with your camera and the ones you create in a game is the 'copyright ownership' of those images. All images you generate in a game – no matter how unique they appear – retain the copyright of the game's developers. This holds true even if there’s no watermark (i.e., a screen grab) or if you remove th...
Since there are far too many games with photo modes to analyze at once, I decided to take a spin with the top two contenders – Sony Polyphony’s Gran Turismo 7 for the PlayStation 4/5, released in 2022, and Forza Horizon 5 for the Xbox S/X and Windows PC platforms, released in 2018. I used a PS4 instead of the top-of-the-line PS5 to road test GT7, a...
In GT7 there are two distinct photo modes, Replay Photo and Scapes. The first one is accessible after you’ve completed any race, time trial or license test. GT7 lets you race a wide variety of cars on some of the most popular race circuits in the world, including a few off-road and dirt-road venues. As you win races and gain points and experience, ...
The Scapes photo mode in GT7 has become an increasingly popular addition to the game. In its first iteration in GT4, it let you pick a single car from your garage and park it at a dozen photo-realistic 'Scapes' scenes from around the world (including the Grand Canyon, Tokyo’s famous fish market and several world-renowned gardens and parks). Since t...
Forza Horizon 5 is a different kind of racing car game. Not only do all of the races take place somewhere in Mexico – with a ton of dirt and off-road venues mixed in (with tracks!) – but you can drive your car off the specified path into fields and even through streams. Along the way, you collect points for winning races, flattening billboards, cra...
The Showroom Photo mode allows you to set up one car at a time inside the Horizon 5 Showroom, a highly-detailed area with both natural and studio lighting. This mode shares some of the features found in GT7’s Scapes mode, such as the ability to position the car, rotate wheels, turn on lights, move your avatar around, focus on a specific point, and ...
From a photography perspective, the Replay Photo mode in Gran Turismo 7 gives you the most realistic toolset for teaching the basics of photography such as composition, camera angle, focal-length issues including wide-angle distortion and vignetting, shutter-speed impact on motion blur and depth-of-field adjustment with aperture settings. In the Re...
No doubt the next versions of both of these games will improve their reality factor, photo-simulation controls, and rendering speeds even further. I'd predict that GT will add a few moving Scapes backgrounds to its catalog so players can create high-res video clips, or be able to follow a racing car while recording video from a drone perspective. I...
Jan 5, 2022 · For the past ten years, virtual photography has been gaining momentum in the world of video games, making its way into social networks and art galleries. A generation of enthusiasts is revealing its artistic potential through screenshots that showcase the gameplay environment: whether it’s architecture, an object, a quality of light, humanity ...
Nov 25, 2023 · Video games, with their immersive environments and captivating visuals, have become a rich source of inspiration for photographers. The rise of dedicated photo modes in games has further fueled this trend, providing players with powerful tools to capture stunning images within virtual worlds.
These artists are part of a growing “virtual photography” community that’s exploring uncharted territory, traveling backward and forward in time, and discovering make-believe locations as part of the popular “Photo Modes” found in modern video games.
