Capturing the (Game) World: Photographer's Guide to Los Santos

The Photographer's Guide to Los Santos

The workshop will take participants on a tour of Los Santos, the simulated version of Los Angeles in the game Grand Theft Auto V. The event will combine a tour of the locations where the most important artistic works of in-game photography have been created, with photographic re-enactment 'missions', where the participants will recreate the artworks. Through this hybrid format, participants will learn about different artists and photographic practices within computer games, and will explore first-hand how to document virtual worlds through a simulated smartphone camera.

This is the third workshop of the series 'Capturing the (Game) World' about In-Game Photography, a collaboration of C/O Berlin, DIGAREC, and ZeM.

Capturing the (Game) World

The series offers insightful talks about the practice, aesthetics, and the history of In-Game Photography as well as hands-on workshops to explore photography in games and in-game photographical techniques.
