Game Art: Leonardo's Sang's SHOES FOR VIRTUAL FEET (2018-ongoing)
Brazilian in-game photographer Leonardo Sang - the author or VRP (Virtual Reality Photography) and Back Seats in Games, among other things - has recently launched a new experimental project, VRP Shoes, a photographic investigation of footwear in video games. Think Bill Cunningham's New York meets virtual foot fetishism. This "pedestrian" project was created using the new nVidia Ansel technology and games' latest photo-modes. Below are few examples: These boots are made for virtual walking.
This image - captured from Far Cry 5 - is an obvious homage to Vincent van Gogh's famous Shoes (1886).

Leonardo Sang (1990) is a self-taught photographer living and working in São Paulo, Brazil. In 2009, he bought a Nikon film camera from a friend. Since then, he has been practicing his photographic skills whenever he can, from slacking off work to family trips, from real world assignments to virtual reality photography. He holds a degree in industrial design from Mackenzie University (2012) and worked for 8 years as graphic designer, at Estúdio Árvore, EC and Bossa Nova Films. He is also one of the founders of Estúdio Arnold (2011), a strategic design studio based in São Paulo. Along with analog and digital photography, Leonardo also has an experimental practice. Called VRP (Virtual Reality Photography), this project involves the application of photographic techniques in videogame realities.
