This Week in Assassin's Creed Virtual Photography: 9th April - 15th 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) Fox

Games: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

​

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

​

A few weeks ago I featured a fox and now we have another one. This is such a cool capture! I love how the ears are up as if startled by Eivor’s presence, whist at the same time remaining hidden in the undergrowth.

Valhalla is now the benchmark for foxes. Let see who can take the crown next.

2) Wingspan 

​

Game: Assassin’s Creed Odyssey

​

Photo number two comes from @DanielDonner82 over on Twitter.

​

Sticking with the animal theme I managed to find this brilliant shot of Ikaros. I am liking how much this showcases this beautiful bird.

Nice use of the depth of field function to give the sense of Ikaros scanning the land from up high. The eagle is such a great symbol of Assassin’s Creed, and I hope it makes a return soon.

3) Traveller

​

Game: Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood

​

This week’s third shot comes from @giraph_1 over on Twitter.

​

A first entry for Brotherhood in our VP collection. This picture looks more like a painting than an in-game screenshot.

Ezio is so striking with his white Brotherhood outfit, particularly when up against the darker background. I love how the sun is blazing out from behind the castle. Such a fitting of capture of the Master Assassin.

4) Paris

​

Game: Assassin’s Creed Unity

​

VP number four comes from @Memento_Gallery over on Twitter.

This capture is all about style and attention to detail. Unity never received the love it deserved, because behind all the issues, the game was on another level.

An excellent capture of the street level sites that await around every corner when exploring this beautifully detailed game. I just really love everything about this photo. 

5) Dragon

​

Game: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

​

The final capture of the week comes from @Amaya_Nocturna over at the ACFirstCiv VP Twitter Community. 

​

Game of Thrones is exactly what I think of when looking at this shot. I am not the biggest fan of the mythical parts to Assassin’s Creed but this is cool.

I really like how the dragon’s wings are in mid-flight, and the dark foggy background. This capture really makes the Dragon seem huge, when really it’s not much bigger than the Raven. 

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.
