This Week in Assassin's Creed Virtual Photography: Feb 19th - Feb 25th 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) Rainbow

​

Game: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

​

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

​

A creepy shot is first up this week. It looks like one of the druid camps in Ireland. I am not sure I have seen a rainbow in Valhalla so far. What I like about this capture is the stone structures and the shrine which are covered in this green haze. The raven flying away also seems like an omen, making the scene very atmospheric.

2) Paris

​

Game: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

​

Photo number two comes from @WorldviewVP over on Twitter.

​

This picture looks like it comes straight from the Assassin’s Creed Atlas book. For me City shots are the essence of Assassin’s Creed. This is usually where the enemies hide and plot their schemes. Although smaller in scale, it is cool to compare this capture to ones from Unity just to see the difference.

3) Burning Lands

​

Game: Assassin’s Creed Origins

​

This week’s third shot comes from @coalabr14 over on Twitter.

​

I really like this capture. The glow from the sun breaking through the clouds casting a shadow over the burnt lands of Egypt. I love the silhouette of Senu and Bayek watching over a military encampment planning their next move.

4) The Archer

​

Game: Assassin’s Creed III

​

VP number four comes from @AHeinemann over on Twitter.

​

Nice to see a different Assassin’s Creed game feature in this article. As I have said before archery capture are my favourite. What drew me to this shot was the dark night with the moon as a focal point adding some light to the scene. Connor looks impressive with his dark outfit and his half drawn bow. This bow was such a game changer back then, but now it is a staple of any AC game.

5) Falcon

​

Game: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

​

The final capture of the week comes from @starlingspecks over on twitter.

​

My bird of choice in Valhalla and also the inspiration for my gamertag. I love this shot, the stars and the clouds are a great backdrop to Eivor’s magnificent companion. The details on Synin are so impressive and this capture really showcases that.

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!
