This Week in Assassin's Creed Virtual Photography: 28th May - 3rd June 2022

Welcome to the new weekly virtual photography roundup hosted by Aaron Young from The AC Partnership Program. 

​

Every week, we will be picking our top 5 favourite Assassin’s Creed shots and showcasing them on The Ones Who Came Before website, in order to promote virtual photography and talented content creators within the community. 

​

Aaron is a keen virtual photographer and loves to post his journeys through Assassin’s Creed on Twitter. 

​

Keep an eye on the site as more weekly shots are added, we are looking for capture across all Assassin’s Creed games. Tag your photos to the #TOWCBWeeklyCapture for a chance to be featured.

1) Caveman

​

Game: Assassin’s Creed Odyssey

​

This week’s first capture comes from @CosmosThief over on Twitter.

​

I am not sure if Alexios has been featured yet in our weekly showcases, however this shot makes a great debut for him. I am a fan of how this capture has been put together, such a small snapshot yet so striking. A fantastic silhouette of the Eagle Bearer brought to life by the light pouring in from above.

2) Eagle Vision 

​

Game: Assassin’s Creed Odyssey

​

Photo number two comes from @kingforever008, member of our Assassin's Creed VP Twitter community.

​

For me this is photo of the week in our community. What an incredible capture of Ikaros and Kassandra. The striking thing about this is the positioning. It’s not always easy to line these sort

of shots up.

The subtle colour added to the eyes really make this capture something special. I think Bayek and Eivor should be next to complete the set.

3) Birdman 

​

Game: Assassin’s Creed Origins

​

This week’s third shot comes from @IshaanMishra05 over on Twitter.

​

There had to be an Assassin’s Creed Origins capture in this week after the release of the 60fps patch. Continuing with the theme of hero and their pets, we see Bayek and Senu watching over the land.

I love the colours in this picture, they really make the silhouette of Bayek stand out. The white pouring in also makes it feel like there is a sandstorm blowing in.

4) Landscape

​

Game: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

​

VP number four comes from @jules_vp_ over on Twitter.

​

The fourth capture of the week actually comes from an amazing set of environmental shots. This picture really shows off how stunning the landscape is in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. The positioning of this capture is beautiful. Your eyes are just drawn down to the rocks and the amazing reflections in the water.

I have been blown away by the details and the design of England in Valhalla. I think it was a nice change of pace after two very sun-drenched entries.  

5) Night in Venice

​

Game: Assassin’s Creed II

​

The final capture of the week comes from @Sirnotbanndwulf, member of our AC VP Twitter Community.

​

For our final shot of the week we return to Italy and roll back the years to Assassin’s Creed two. I love this capture it is full of nostalgia for me. I would adore to play this game again with improved graphics and Unity movements. This is a fantastic capture showcasing the rooftops of Venice, I am mostly liking the light coming from the moon.

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.
