500x_gtaphoto.jpgBrazilian artist Leonardo Sang has started up a project called VRP, or "Virtual Reality Photography". The aim is to use "video games as platforms for everyday photography".

Using Grand Theft Auto IV as his foundation, Sang has taken a number of screenshots from the game and composed them so they look more like actual photographs.

Why? He wants to show that modern games possess the "full visual capacity and complexity to create a proper photographic ambient", as well as "show how photography can be applied in many ways."

The gallery above shows the finished "photographs". You can see the original screenshots at the link below.
