Virtual photography

Duncan Harris, the curator of Dead End Thrills – a website dedicated to in-game screenshots – says that “a good screenshot is a liar by omission”. Harris is English, studied engineering at the university level, and prides himself in being from a Britsoft background. His technique, which he has been developing since he founded Dead End Thrills in 2008, is based in tweaking and modding games to make them as photogenic as possible. In 2012, he received an advance build of Dishonored so that he could showcase its virtual world before it was released. He was an advisor for Nvidia in developing Ansel. Leo Sang is best known for his Backseats in Games collection, which features black and white photographs taken from Project CARS and WCR 3. His technique includes the use of Fraps, post-processing, and sometimes a phone or camera. Sang started a Tumblr page in 2011, which holds more than 470 images. He added grain to his photographs to achieve a look closer to that of 35mm film. Both Sang's and Harris' work have been hung in physical art galleries in Los Angeles and London. ==References==
