Why Video Game Photography Is An Incredible Learning Tool For New Or Seasoned Photographers!

Four years ago a video game photo mode inspired me to pick up a camera and start photography! In this video I revisit some video game photo modes and discuss the value these photo modes have as a learning and practicing tool for photographers!

This has actually inspired me to use game photo modes to inspire my IRL photography. Awesone video man.

That's amazing, always happy to hear I've inspired someone 😄 thank you! 🙌

I recommend playing the crew motorfest. The camera mode is pretty good.They have very good visuals and cars

@@Ploxy3 it's one I've been meaning to give a try! Currently playing grid legends so maybe after I'm done with that 😁

I started playing Ghosts of Tsushima in November 2020, and after not taking photographs in any sort of serious way for years, I suddenly couldn't not take photographs anymore. Both in that game and in the world, I wanted to get out and see the shape of things. More than three years later, photography is what I care about most, and it has led to some incredible memories. Additionally, Ghosts has to have the best in-game camera system I've yet encountered and is picturesque in nearly every moment. I think I spent twice as much time wandering around, capturing landscapes and documenting village life, than I did actually playing the game.

I love this! Sounds very similar to my story as I previously did a lot of videography which I lost my passion for, this was the game that reignited my creativity and pushed me into photography! It's cool to find people who had a similar experience with the game!

The potential benefits of taking images in video games is something that I have talked to people about for a while now (the reception to the idea has been, shall we say, a little mixed!). I recently re-started my photography blog after quite some time away and this very topic was actually one of the first posts I have re-purposed/re-published because of my belief in the benefits.

[@jimmypmedia]

I can definitely understand the reception being mixed as I know photographers can be quite set in their ways! There are so many benefits though and it's always cool to see there's like minded people out there!

[@TheGeekySnapper]

@@jimmypmedia You're not wrong about how some photographers can be set in their ways, it's caused me some disagreements with a few. Like you say though, it is cool to see there is some like minded folks about.

Love the video! Definitely didn't bully you for that number plate every time 🙄 And who said the train will come? 😂😂

Look right Big Chungus is still funny and that's a hill I'm willing to die on 😂 Just be glad I didn't attempt to drive on the tracks when we actually went there 😂

@@jimmypmedia I know you're bothered when you bring out the "look, right" 😂

Love this, such a great video! I really like the Horizon series for practicing landscape / urban decay stuff.

[@jimmypmedia]

Thank you so much! 🙌 I found it awesome for practicing compositions using cars in landscapes!

[@heyzk_]

@@jimmypmedia Hah my bad. I meant the Horizon Zero series so HZD and Forbidden West. Horizon is genius for motorsport definitly going to try it. Thanks so much for these tips, can't wait for the next one.

[@jimmypmedia]

@@heyzk_ Haha this makes more sense given you said urban decay 😂 I played Horizon a long time ago but never finished it, may have to check out the photo mode one day! No worries man glad you enjoyed the video!
