I'm sure some of you reading this already know who I am, others may not, so I decided that my first post in this community would be a summary of who I am and what I do since I've been on Hive. First of all, it took me a while to find out about the existence of this community, it was a pleasant surprise because I love taking pictures in every game I play, redundant as it may sound.

I'm Arisu, or Ari if you prefer, a girl who has been on Hive for a few years, mainly posting in the Hive Gaming community. Thanks to this, I acquired better work equipment just over a year ago, something I am still very grateful for and I believe it has been noticeable in the content I publish today, including the photographs I can take.

Resident Evil 7, CAPCOM

Valheim, Iron Gate Studios (sadly, I cant remove the HUD (or don't know how))

I play a bit of everything, as you can see in the photographs in this post, which I have taken from the games I have been able to enjoy over the past year. However, the game I have played the most by far is Monster Hunter World, which has become one of my favorite video games by far, but I have set it aside a bit for the past couple of months to make room for other things, like Death Stranding, which I recently finished, or other games that I have in progress and will eventually finish, I think.

No More Heroes III, Grasshoper Manufacture

Speaking of photographs, I do not consider myself an expert even though I love taking pictures of everything, not just video games, but the place where I live is not very interesting so generally a landscape within a video game is much more interesting.

I like to try to capture the beauty that lighting offers in games, it doesn't always have to be the most cutting-edge graphically, but rather have an artistic aspect that stands out because of that and not necessarily because it is photorealistic, but I also don't deny that games that utilize this well look beautiful.

It is difficult for a game to show its beauty without adequate lighting in most cases, whether dynamic as in most current games, or with very clever tricks, as in Resident Evil Remake, a correctly lit game is a beautiful game, and you will likely see more than one screenshot from Death Stranding for the same reason, I find the game wonderful not only in terms of story but also graphically.

I do not consider that I have a "method" when taking my photographs, I simply capture what I like in a game and I also like sharing it with others, so you will understand that when I found out about this community I was very excited because I feel right at home, I am very happy to share my photographs with you as well as to see what you want to post.

I hope you enjoy my photographs, before starting to write this, I took a look at some users' photos and liked them a lot, so I hope to keep seeing things like that during my time here, thank you very much for reading, and see you around, bye bye!
