You are big fan of the game if you got a Platinum trophy in Mirror's Edge, but your a whole new kind of fan when you have a photo series of the game. Some amazing photographs by A.J. Pomales all inspired by the game. Through the span of several months, the collection was finally complete.

The short story behind this project: For about a year now I have wanted to do a movie style photo shoot. My background is in independent & documentary film and I have always been heavily influenced by Hollywood films. I chose the Mirror’s Edge because aside from it being a fantastic video game with an iconic character, it was a plausible world to recreate for the camera.

I had brainstormed this project with a fellow Photographer A.J. Pomales for several months. We gathered shot ideas on the internet based on the video game itself, screen shots and concept art for Mirror’s Edge. We discovered we were not the first to try this: pixelatedgirl.com/2009/02/mirrors-edge-p hotoshoot-part-2/ had already done this twice (and quite well) but it didn’t discourage us as much as give us some new ideas and inspiration. We were going to try this with our own twist and try some action shots as well.

Faith was played by Yen Ryder a professional model hairstylist who had recently worked with my wife on another photography project. My wife called me and said she had found the perfect person to play the character. Yen was fantastic to work with as a model and I really felt brought the Faith character to life.

    Pretty epic shot gallery by that guy. Can't imagine how long it took to get the shots he actually wanted!

    Only gripe that I kept noticing...the shoes!

    I was expecting these to be screens taken to look like professional photographs. Obviously I was pleasantly surprised to find a decently executed and interesting gallery of a game inspired theme. They are good but not great.

    There are some seriously impressive shots here. It's a shame some average ones intersperse the technical excellence, but it was a joy to look at. As a photographer it's pretty inspiring; I might look into trying something game-related too, it looks like it could be a lot of fun!

    Pretty cool photo shoot but she doesn't really look like Faith and there's no hi-res versions.

      I think there are hi-res version if you are a member of flickr. He mentions a few times in some of the photo descriptuions.

      Some of them are really impressive, others are okay. It would have been cool if he did one were she was wallrunning
