I owe a lot to Sony and the Playstation brand.
If modern Virtual Photography is what it is, we must thank Kazunori Yamauchi, Gran Turismo 4 and Playstation2 for starting this thing in 2004.
During the eighth generation of gaming, every Sony first-party game included a photo mode at launch or shortly after.
Thanks to Sony's egregious effort, Ubisoft and many others followed the lead and introduced photo mode into the Assassin's Creed saga, to name a big non-Sony franchise.
Here's my way to thank Sony for their effort and inspiration, with unique and unusual takes on gaming characters, set pieces, villains, action and locations.
