This Week in Assassin's Creed Virtual Photography: March 12th - 18th 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) The Berserker

​

Game: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

​

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

A striking shot of Eivor, I don’t think she could look anymore Viking.

The capture reminds me of The Revenant, just missing the snow. I am really liking the black background, it allows the torch to showcase the details of Eivor’s outfit. VP like this always makes for great phone wallpapers. 

2) Revelations ​

Game: Assassin’s Creed Revelations

Photo number two comes from @VistoGaming over on Twitter.

This photo looks just like a painting. It is great that people are able to create VP for the old Assassin’s Creed games. 

Revelations has always had spectacular environments and this shot shows it. For me the colours of the sails amongst the misty backdrop make the picture.

3) Mountains

​

Game: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

​

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

​

The third shot of the week could easily be mistaken for not being from a video game. Sometimes captures without people showcase the real art behind the games. This shot in particular has great range. I love the colourful greenery at the front and then the calm water with the steep mountains in the distance.

4) At Sea

​

Game: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

​

VP number four comes from @LiEVENGreG over on Twitter.

​

For me the longship doesn’t get enough love in the VP world. Maybe it is due to not having any open seas to take photos in. This capture does it justice though. That bright sun in the middle glaring down reflecting in the water which is splashing up against the ship is just perfect.

5) In Search of Adventure 

​

Game: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

​

The final capture of the week comes from @TheGamingNurseX over on Twitter.

​

The Isle of Skye does not get enough credit. It is an absolutely beautiful location in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. Lucky for us this capture showcase that beauty and then some. The vegetation looks incredible, and so does the mountains. My favourite part of the shot is the clouds, intentional or not they just standout to me.

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!
