Numerous contemporary digital games today have a so-called photo mode as a feature, with the help of which players can take or stage pictures of their game activities. This exciting field - called 'in-game photography' - has developed rapidly in recent years and will be discussed in the lecture from a historical, artistic, but also legal and marketing point of view using numerous examples.
