Thank you to everyone for being part of the biggest awards yet; here are some stats that you might enjoy...
Had the honour to be featured in the VP Awards of @thephotomode.com issue and babble about my photo! 🤍 Go check it out, so many great photos and artists in it. I personally love reading about the thoughts and processes behind the photos. #thevpawards
I loved reading about the thoughts and work behind the winner and finalists shots in #TheVPAwards. To me it shows that VP is so much more than just cool shots from video games. It's art!

I just realised that I forgot to add the runners-up images to the results posts, let's fix that...😅
Now that #TheVPAwards are over I'll share my entries.
None of them were shortlisted but they're still my personal best and I am very proud of each single one of them 😌

A screenshot from the PC game THE OUTER WORLDS: SPACER'S CHOICE EDITION. It depicts the dark interior of a spaceship cockpit. There are big computer stations with multiple displays (including a round one standing out thanks its size and neon-blue frame around it), switches and dials. On the left side of the image is also a leathery chair. The colours are mostly blue tones, with some red accents from a pipe running along one of the computer stations, a tube running along the bottom of the frame, and some lights on the stations.
A screenshot from the PC game THE OUTER WORLDS: SPACER'S CHOICE EDITION. It depicts the dark interior of a spaceship cockpit. There is a big computer station on the right, with a display, switches, and gauges. On the left side is another station with a display that shows in red the face of a woman in uniform with some data around it. The colours of the rest of the image are mostly blue tones, with some other red accents from lights on the computer stations.
A screenshot from the PC game THE OUTER WORLDS: SPACER'S CHOICE EDITION. It depicts in the same darkened spaceship as the previous two images a vintage-looking camera on a wall. The colours are a combination of pink and light blue.

A screenshot of the PC game THE OUTER WORLDS. On it you see a scene on an alien planet, in which a man in slightly futuristic-looking, casual, red clothes is in the process of drop-kicking (about to hit) a giant primate-like creature. The creature is screaming. Its colour is blueish, with an orange claw that's coming towards the camera at the bottom of the frame. The ground on the planet is rocky and dark grey. The background is dark blue and out-of-focus, filled with stars, a nebula, a rocky object in the sky, and a spaceship.
I took part in this year's #TheVPAwards, didn't make it into the finals, though. Congratulations to those who did!
I might as well share my entries here, considering that I'm otherwise still not regularly posting #VirtualPhotography.
This one was for the category "Action".
#TheOuterWorlds
2 Finalists in Environment and Collection is good going.
Congratulations to all the other shortlists!
