3) Minimal
​
Game: Assassin’s Creed Origins
​
This week’s third shot comes from @_Virtualtourism a member of our Assassin’s Creed VP Twitter Community.
​
Photo number three comes from a must see set of shots. The minimalist nature of this capture is what makes it so exceptional. What baffles me is how Virtual Tourism even managed to see this moment in the first place. Wonderful timing with Senu flying just above the rocks below.
I really like how the colours are toned down to give such a peaceful feel. Definitely checkout the other two shots as they showcase the simplistic brilliance of the Pyramids.
1) Adventure Begins
​
Game: Assassin’s Creed Origins
​
This week’s first capture comes from @DawnX90 over on Twitter.
​
Let’s start at the beginning, just like the first shot this week. I love the colours of this photo and the way it has been captured. It looks just like concept art to me, with its broad showcase of Siwa. I remember this scene very well and how I felt the first time I experienced it, truly breath-taking stuff. Siwa has to be one of the best looking locations in the game.
2) Vibrant
​
Game: Assassin’s Creed Origins
​
Photo number two comes from @Salad_VP over on Twitter.
​
This capture stood out to me the moment I saw it. In fact, both shots in this set were stunning and it was hard to pick between them. The positioning of Bayek, on what looks like a statue, is perfect against the backdrop of this incredible sky. It feels like Bayek has been teleported here through the spray of purple behind him. Full credit for playing with the colours to create this amazing shot.
4) Bayek the Warrior
​
Game: Assassin’s Creed Origins
​
VP number four comes from @missroseplays a member of our Assassin’s Creed VP Twitter Community.
​
Photo number four comes from the Curse of the Pharaohs DLC. An overwhelming shot here of Bayek against a deadly foe. I like this shot as it captures Bayek in combat which is something I don’t see as often.
The main man looks awesome in his armour with a stance that shows he is ready for anything, even something not of this world. This shot is all about timing and it has been perfectly achieved.
5) Goodbye
​
Game: Assassin’s Creed Origins
​
The final capture of the week comes from @CosmosThief over on Twitter.
​
I felt like this shot deserved to be the final selection of our 4 week Assassins Creed Origins celebration showcase. A fine capture of Bayek watching the sun set. I like to think that this is Bayek at the end of his adventure, finding solace after everything that’s happened. A beautiful final shot, thank you to everyone who has taken part.
And that sums it up for this week’s Assassin’s Creed virtual photography recap list!
​
Thank you for checking out this week’s photo collection. This would not be possible without the virtual photographers out there so a huge thanks to them. Until next week keep those shots coming in!
