Virtual photography, also known as game photography, screenshot photography, or putsovagery, is a form of new media art which consists of taking screenshots of video game worlds. Virtual photography has been featured in physical art galleries around the world. The validity and legality of this art form is sometimes questioned, because virtual photographers are taking photos of artwork created by the game’s designers and artists. For the most part, virtual photographers share the same motivations as “real life” photographers, including a desire to capture visually interesting images, preserve memories, and demonstrating technical expertise.
