Professional Photography by Netrosanct Studios

Because of my busy life (both Second and first), I don’t have time to take photos of Cynara or myself for our own vanity purposes. :D So instead of practicing my real life photography skills in Second Life, we went to a studio so that they do the job of taking photos for us. Netrosanct Studios took the job and instead of me paying them, they even paid me to do this review.

They only make good photos not miracles

The first thing I noticed in their studio is the words… “We take beautiful pics… but we can’t do miracles!” Honestly, that line is kind of hilarious and makes sense. Beauty may be subjective and based on personal opinion, however, there are times that even if the Photographer is very skilled and good at his/her craft, if the subject is way far behind “that” line, even the world’s best photographer can’t do anything about it. I for one had a shoot before, but because for some reason only them can explain, even how many time I photoshop the photos, I can’t make them beautiful unless they improve their shapes.

It’s not just about good angles

Many have tried, but only a few succeeded. As a photographer myself, even if the angle looks good, if the lightings, shadows and composition do not compliment with each other, you cannot make a good shot. Netrosanct Studios use the popular N30 Photo Studio and the Snaps are then processed through Photoshop by himself, Arj Friedkin, owner of Netrosanct Studios. Photoshop is very essential in making good pictures for you Second Life. The default snaps really doesn’t satisfy the artistic eye or if you want to look artistic in some way. By this, Netrosanct guarantees that you deserve the best photos for your SL.

  • Taking photos in SL is definitely about the angles, but especially the lighting and shadows like with real photography. The best photographers in SL really know what their doing when it comes to the lighting and shadow effects and usually do complicated touchups in programs like PhotoShop. These are very beautiful though! Very profeshional looking.

    Wow. Those pictures are very nice. With all of the photo-taking businesses I've noticed in Second Life, I'm sure that it's probably a good business to get into depending on how you go about it.

    I like to take randomized/odd pictures of Second Life myself, just for fun mostly - and because there are some really amazing architectures or neat effects you can get on accident.

    I suppose the artistic value would count on how a person views it. Graphics editors can do nice things, but they're not always something to be completely relied on.
