Reflecting by JessK

Preface

Shutterbugs Showcase is the outcome of an ongoing

creative collaborative taking place at Simatography.

Who ever would have imagined that a simple

pixelated world could become the tool for such

awe-inspiring creativity.

This showcase portfolio highlights but a small

handful of talented artists in the Sims community.

We hope you enjoy this collection.

Assignment Six The Finale

What you have captured on film is captured forever.

It remembers little things long after you have forgotten everything. Aaron Siskind

For the finale the simtographers were asked to bring in their A-game

and use all of the skills developed in previous rounds to create a photo

collection that might be used in a magazine. Themes to choose from

were House and Home, Fashion and Beauty, or Entertainment and Ce-

lebrities. It was a challenging round, but our Simtographers showed us

what they were made of.
