| Abstract | This chapter analyses the similarities between gaming and photography, particularly in the context of first-person shooting games, emphasising the shared sense of adventure. The text starts by exploring the development of in-game photography and its diverse production methods, including the impact of game mechanics on visual choices. It then examines the shift in the photographic medium within virtual spaces, focusing on its social function, cultural meaning and the distinct practices of various in-game photographers. The chapter discusses the emergence of critical in-game photography through the work of artists who challenge the established narratives and visual norms of game-play experience. The author argues that in-game photography presents a unique form of adventure and non-conformist art, which blurs the boundaries between the real and virtual worlds. |
