Call of Duty is one of the most popular and longest-running video game franchises, and to promote the upcoming release of the hotly anticipated latest instalment, Call of Duty: Vanguard, publisher Activision invited two veteran war photographers to capture images inside the game.
Sebastiano Tomada and Alex Potter, who have photographed conflicts in countries including Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria, were given virtual cameras that enabled them to move around the game’s combat zones, on a specially constructed soundstage that featured reactive lighting and sound. “I was impressed by how kinetic the game was, because everything is actually happening and moving around you,” Tomada says of the experience. “This is what war looks like, this is what conflict looks like.”
