A series of virtual photographs created for the second round of a community screenshot tournament in 2022. This round imposed the strictest limitations of the series: only the standard in-game photo mode was available, with cropping as the only permitted post-processing.
Challenge
Without external retouching, color correction or compositing, the images had to work at the moment of capture. The main challenge was to create a varied selection through composition, timing, viewpoint and subject choice despite the limited visual control.
Approach
I focused on strong silhouettes, scale, environmental details and action, using framing and aspect ratio to reinforce the dynamics of each shot. Cropping was used only to refine composition rather than to compensate for the limitations of the source image.
Tools Used
Capture: Mad Max Photo Mode
Post-processing: Cropping only
Result
The final selection demonstrates how composition, timing and framing can carry an image even under very limited technical conditions. It also became an exercise in relying less on post-processing and making stronger decisions during capture.
