This is one of the coolest things I’ve seen. Photographer Robbie Cooper did a photo essay on video gamers, but in a unique way. He projected the video game onto glass which sits right on top of the camera’s lens, so the gamers are looking directly into the camera.

What’s also impressive is that the images are video grabs. He used the new Red video camera. You can see the photo essay here, and the video here.

I’ve see this done before though, a couple years ago by another photographer… his name is escaping me. I’ll find it! Found it. Philip Toledano, shown here.
