"Some advice from me is to enjoy and learn from others, there is always something new you can learn!"

Never shy away from experimenting or going out of your comfort zone. The world of VP is gigantic and there's so much to love and discover!

It's all about sharing your own enjoyment:

"I especially love those who somehow always manage to capture a feeling, an atmosphere, where you can really see the love they have for capturing photos in-game, and that comes at the full range of technical skillsets"

Letter text: What I love most about Virtual Photography, is seeing the joy that it brings to so many people. I find such inspiration from seeing other people's favourite games, their most loved characters & environments, sharing their creativity & passion for VP and gaming There are so many great and varied artists out there, but I especially love those who somehow always manage to capture a feeling, an atmosphere, where you can really see the love they have for capturing photos in-game, and that comes at the full range of technical skillsets Some advice from me is to enjoy and learn from others, there is always something new you can learn! And also just try different things, experiment, go outside of your comfort zone. Share your favourite captures from other VP artists too! Lastly, I want to say how thankful I am for the VP community. There are some truly amazing people out there, who are not only talented, but provide encouragement, feedback and inspiration to myself and others. I've made some great friends along the way :) Photo by Bryan - VP @2oongamer.bsky.social Used with permission. Collage of photos by Bryan - VP @2oongamer.bsky.social Used with permission.

Learning is a natural process of any skill development. By sharing our own and engaging we allow not only ourselves but our Community to grow.

Likewise, apart from sharing your own process don't hesitate to help those who do the same!

"[...] approach everything with empathy and an open mind to becoming a you unbound by set styles and beliefs, and help others do the same so that we can all find the beauty in everything."

Not every shot we take is perfect, but that doesn't mean it isn't important to share or won't be appreciated.

"There is beauty in everything - it is up to the beholder's eye to find it. What I mean by that is finding beauty in our mistakes, our differences, our so called "imperfections"."
