Thank you for taking the time to chat with us for as part of our latest #DSPorterSpotlight spotlight! We absolutely love your DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR\u2019S CUT photo mode shots. They are absolutely incredible. Can you tell us a bit more about yourself and what makes you a DEATH STRANDING fan?<\/p>\n<p>Hi everyone! Thanks for letting me participate in this. I\u2019m Ari, a virtual photographer and writer from Italy. I\u2019ve always been a big fan of Hideo Kojima and always admired his work. When I found out he was developing a new game, I was immensely happy to see him back in action, but also curious to see what DEATH STRANDING was about. I really love DEATH STRANDING, mostly because of the wonderful actors in the game. My favorite being Mads Mikkelsen. <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">What was it about DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR\u2019S CUT that appealed to you as a virtual photographer?<\/p>\n<p>THE WORLD &#8211; The first thing that attracted me to DEATH STRANDING was the world. It looks very simple but in the simplicity there are some truly breathtaking passages that I love to photograph. Even in parts of the game that are darker, I also liked to photograph it as they represented what certain characters have been through.<\/p>\n<p>THE MOUNTAINS &#8211; Ever since I was little, I loved mountains and in DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR\u2019S CUT, there are so many of them, each one unique and beautiful in its own way. <\/p>\n<p>THE CHARACTERS &#8211; I really like to capture the emotions of Sam\u2019s face and also the emotions of the other characters.  <\/p>\n<div id=\"metaslider-id-21070\" style=\"max-width: 1920px;\" class=\"ml-slider-3-60-1 metaslider metaslider-flex metaslider-21070 ml-slider ms-theme-default nav-hidden\" role=\"region\" aria-roledescription=\"Slideshow\" aria-label=\"Ari - Slideshow 2\">\n    <div id=\"metaslider_container_21070\">\n        <div id=\"metaslider_21070\">\n            <ul aria-live=\"polite\" class=\"slides\">\n                <li style=\"display: block;

Do you have any top tips you\u2019d like to share?<\/p>\n<p>My process for each photo is very simple. The most important thing I do before taking a photo is look at the composition, location and light. I have to admit, it takes me a long time to even take a simple shot of a landscape or portrait because I want it to be good, to be exactly how I depicted the idea in my mind. <\/p>\n<p>Of course, for some photos it only takes me one attempt and I like the first first, for others it takes more attempts. But I don\u2019t give up until it turns out the way I want. <\/p>\n<p>One very important piece of advice I want to give is if you try to take landscape shots and you also want to show the character too, try and shoot from above! Many times we sacrifice the landscape in front of us, showing only a small part of it by positioning the camera straight on, but if you do it from above, you will see that the perspective will change completely. <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">Which areas of the in-game world do you recommend virtual photographers go explore when they play DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR\u2019S CUT?<\/p>\n<p>What a good question! Honestly, I would say all areas because there isn\u2019t a bad one! My absolute favourite areas are Edge Knot City and Mountain Knot City. Both are my favourites because on one hand, we have snow-capped mountains and a crazy few of the whole world of DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR\u2019S CUT. On the other hand, we have the ruins of the modern world that existed before the Death Stranding disaster. Even with the destroyed structures, there is still beauty to be captured. <\/p>\n<div id=\"metaslider-id-21084\" style=\"max-width: 2048px;\" class=\"ml-slider-3-60-1 metaslider metaslider-flex metaslider-21084 ml-slider ms-theme-default nav-hidden nav-hidden\" role=\"region\" aria-roledescription=\"Slideshow\" aria-label=\"Ari - Landscape\">\n    <div id=\"metaslider_container_21084\">\n        <div id=\"metaslider_21084\">\n            <ul aria-live=\"polite\" class=\"slides\">\n                <li style=\"display: block; width: 100%;\" class=\"slide-21180 ms-image\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"slide-21180\"><img src=\"https:\/\/deathstrandingpc.505games.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/dlTxyXLO-2048x612.jpg\" height=\"612\" width=\"2048\" alt=\"\" class=\"slider-21084 slide-21180\" title=\"dlTxyXLO\" \/><\/li>\n                <li style=\"display: none; width: 100%;\" class=\"slide-21182 ms-image\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"slide-21182\"><img src=\"https:\/\/deathstrandingpc.505games.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/MtIqbnkr-2048x612.jpg\" height=\"612\" width=\"2048\" alt=\"\" class=\"slider-21084 slide-21182\" title=\"MtIqbnkr\" \/><\/li>\n                <li style=\"display: none; width: 100%;\" class=\"slide-21178 ms-image\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"slide-21178\"><img src=\"https:\/\/deathstrandingpc.505games.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/6IbRYLbg.jpg\" height=\"612\" width=\"2048\" alt=\"\" class=\"slider-21084 slide-21178\" title=\"6IbRYLbg\" \/><\/li>\n                <li style=\"display: none; width: 100%;\" class=\"slide-21181 ms-image\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"slide-21181\"><img src=\"https:\/\/deathstrandingpc.505games.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/LhG3bm-c-2048x612.jpg\" height=\"612\" width=\"2048\" alt=\"\" class=\"slider-21084 slide-21181\" title=\"LhG3bm-c\" \/><\/li>\n                <li style=\"display: none; width: 100%;\" class=\"slide-21176 ms-image\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"slide-21176\"><img src=\"https:\/\/deathstrandingpc.505games.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/1WYe7uQc.jpg\" height=\"612\" width=\"2048\" alt=\"\" class=\"slider-21084 slide-21176\" title=\"1WYe7uQc\" \/><\/li>\n                <li style=\"display: none; width: 100%;\" class=\"slide-21179 ms-image\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"slide-21179\"><img src=\"https:\/\/deathstrandingpc.505games.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/cpMLLusq-2048x612.jpg\" height=\"612\" width=\"2048\" alt=\"\" class=\"slider-21084 slide-21179\" title=\"cpMLLusq\" \/><\/li>\n                <li style=\"display: none; width: 100%;\" class=\"slide-21183 ms-image\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"slide-21183\"><img src=\"https:\/\/deathstrandingpc.505games.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/OaB9Ad3E-2048x612.jpg\" height=\"612\" width=\"2048\" alt=\"\" class=\"slider-21084 slide-21183\" title=\"OaB9Ad3E\" \/><\/li>\n                <li style=\"display: none; width: 100%;\" class=\"slide-21175 ms-image\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"slide-21175\"><img src=\"https:\/\/deathstrandingpc.505games.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/zsORZIAZ-2048x612.jpg\" height=\"612\" width=\"2048\" alt=\"\" class=\"slider-21084 slide-21175\" title=\"zsORZIAZ\" \/><\/li>\n                <li style=\"display: none; width: 100%;\" class=\"slide-21177 ms-image\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"slide-21177\"><img src=\"https:\/\/deathstrandingpc.505games.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/2CqRXAIt-2048x612.jpg\" height=\"612\" width=\"2048\" alt=\"\" class=\"slider-21084 slide-21177\" title=\"2CqRXAIt\" \/><\/li>\n            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n        \n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">Do you have any advice for new Porters who might be about to play DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR\u2019S CUT for the first time? <\/p>\n<p>My biggest piece of advice is to always try new things! DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR\u2019S CUT is a completely different game, with very different mechanics and gameplay to all the other games I\u2019ve seen and played. I fell in love with it instantly. This game has a great sense of adventure, the story is honestly one of the most beautiful stories I\u2019ve ever experienced. I could talk for hours about the beauty of the story and that of every single character. <\/p>\n<p>You won\u2019t regret playing DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR\u2019S CUT, believe me! <\/p>\n<p>Thank you Ari for taking the time to chat with us.
