First favourite... ahhh the early days! Just getting them to lie beside each other and smile was like living the dream! 🥰💖

Recent favourite... a shot I took for the lovely @mrsecho.bsky.social of Astarion putting Orya's necklace on before an evening out!

Day 1: Your First Favorite Photo + A Recent Favorite

I’d really like to recreate that first shot someday. The most recent one is just very them. 💚🩸🥀

#BG3PMBirthdayWeek26 #andromedaxastarion #BloodRose

1) The first photo I ever posed in photo mode (edited today just for fun). This was my stars druid Calistraea and I loved her!

2) An extra from a recent set that won't get used cause the scene in my fic changed a lot after but I still liked it!

So much fun ᥫ᭡

Day 1: first fav and a recent fav

I understood wrong (as always ;;). So, let me pick up my very first with photo mode vs. my recent one (sorry ;;):

And yet, I can still see Alex flourishing in the second one 💙

1st favorite vs recent favorite! First was completely vanilla on console, vs I started trying to learn more about it playing on PC.

I started doing "portraits" of some of my characters and this one of Harmony was the first one I thought was neat.

These recent shots of Astarion & Kelari I am pretty proud of. I only started with VP a couple months ago so I am excited to improve more.

#BG3PMBirthdayWeek26 Day 1 - First Favourite + Recent Favourite

the first one was taken on the day photomode was released!, the only thing i'd tweaked was saturation. the recent one... gosh, squids have come so far... prop & vfx mods have really changed the vp game.

Day 1 of #BG3PMBirthdayWeek26!
My first favourite & a recent favourite.

I wanted to pick something with similar vibes to my first favourite. I think it showcases well that my angles and colours and compositions have gotten better—or at least more interesting/dynamic! ✨

#BG3VP #Raestarion #RaeBG3

First fav and recent fav
I love so much photomode in BG3!! I'm not a virtual photographer but photomode helps me so much for my drawing ref and to tell Caedus' story!! For me it's one of best addition in game!!
Happy birthday photomode!!!

Day 1: first fav and a recent fav

Back in May, 2024, when I started doing VP to answer tavqotd and share Alex with you all. It's good to see how Alex changed and flourished,

#BG3PMBirthdayWeek26
My first favorite and my recent favorite!

#SongAndGavel #RolimOC and #Astarion
I still adore how Rolim looks at Astarion here 🥰

#Durge #ElegysOC
The blue glint in her eye, the details on the dress, the lighting, AHH!

A Drow Bard talks to her companions, a Yuan-ti Ranger and a Tiefling Wizard. Both the Yuan-ti and & Tiefling look... Confused LOL (VP taken in Larian Studio's Baldur's Gate 3)

A Drow Bard plays the violin while a Tiefling Wizard and a Yuan-ti Ranger dance at their campsite. There is a fox familiar and blink dog familiar in the background watching along. (VP taken in Larian Studio's Baldur's Gate 3)

Day 1 of the #BG3PMBirthdayWeek26!

First fave & recent fave

WOW these are so funny for me to see side by side. Same trio, different scenarios (and everything else)

Bonus, an OLD version of Zehir here, he was still going through development at the time LOL.

#bg3 #bg3vp #bg3oc #virtualphotography

Oh dear, decisions, decisions 😅

First, two of the earliest shots I took (both May '25), mostly vanilla PM iirc.

The other two are from this year. I changed D's horns and don't count the pics from before until I redo them, so that was easier to choose from 😄

#BG3PMBirthdayWeek26 Day 1 - First Favourite + Recent Favourite

1st is 10th June 25, 2nd 10 days ago

I was resisting installing lighty lights, otis, and many vp mods for a very long time. I wanted to finish all my achievements and honor mode before diving into it. Glad I did, it's time consuming 😁

Day 1: First favourite and most recent favourite!

With some tasteful nudity.

#BG3PMBirthdayWeek26 Day 1: First favourite / recent favourite 📸

Two very different vibes! I love the first family photo I took in Photo Mode, and I also love this warm, romantic moment between Bella & Gale. I think I've improved a lot 😊

A BG3 screenshot of a human male Tav, Thomas; a redheaded man with loose wavy locks and a scarred cheek. He is wearing a coat over a vlue shirt and dark trousers, and lays down on a straw bed, looking ponderous and unsure as one hand rests against a lipstick-kissed envelope.

BG3 screenshot in monochrome, showing a side headshot of a human male Tav, 'Thomas,' against a black background highlighted with a spotlight. The Tav is grouchy, focused, his wavy hair tied back and his cheek scarred. His neck and back of head are cast in shadow.

Day 1! A first fave and a recent fave...

First shot was entirely vanilla photomode. I struggled quite a bit back then, but still like the quiet storytelling of this one.

Second B&W shot remains my fave shot of Tommy period, and very reflective of my currrent style.

DAY 1 - First favorite/Recent Favorite

My first favorite, wow. It's been almost a YEAR since I took this picture. Back when all I had was the vanilla poses and a dream! I still love it.

And I killed with the masquerade, honestly.

Day 1 a first favourite and a recent favourite

'A kiss.'

I was one of the lucky souls that was on the Photo Mode stress test, the shot on the left is one of the first I took back in January 2025 - with #HarperGeraldus and #HarperBor as my testers.

Wild how far we've come.

Day 1 ~ First & recent favourite ✩°｡⋆

Gale yapping at Hazel~ back in May '25. It's been about a week of exploring photo mode with no experience in VP and none of the fancy tools.

And ..who this? My very fist Tav!
Finally getting the VP they deserve in March '26. ♥

A graphic showing two BG3 Virtual Photography photos of Gale and Tav over a colorful birthday garland made from pennants titled “A first fave | A recent fave” written in red font outlined with glowing orange with the hashtag on top of it “#BG3PMBirthdayWeek26” The first photo shows Gale and Paladin!Tav holding each other by the hands, fingers laced together, foreheads resting against each other with closed eyes. Gale wears an elaborate purple and silver robe with a purple medium-long cloak and purple and brown leather gloves. His hair is styled half up, half down. Tav is a white human with medium length curly ginger hair with green highlights styled into victory rolls. They wear a green golden heavy plate armour and wear a sword on their back. The both of them stand in Jaheira’s hide-out full of rich sunlight coming in from behind them. The second photo shows Gale and [another] Paladin!Tav kissing in the Rosymorn Monastery in the Mountain Pass who has the same face and physique as the paladin above. Tav has their arms wrapped around Gale’s neck, each of their eyes are closed and Gale holds them tightly by their waist. Gale wears a purple and dark blue simple robe with a broad beige-ish yellow-ish leather belt and has the sword Phalar Aluve on his back. Tav wears a dark grey heavy armour decorated with claws on their shoulders with Frost Giant gloves and have a burning sword strapped to their back. They are surrounded by cool sunlight coming through a broken window that is next to intact stained glass windows in orange, reds and yellows with a high contrast to the shadows.
