Not only is Second Life® Photography a popular spare-time activity, but it’s also a great way to show off the full potential of virtual worlds. From the beauty of a well made avatar to carefully constructed digital landscapes, virtual worlds contain a myriad of breathtaking art waiting to be immortalised by the photographer.
Underneath these amazing graphical capabilities lie the complex code and systems that hang it all together. And that’s where we come in. Snowcrash Digital develops state-of-the-art photography equipment for virtual photographers, giving them the tools to make the most of Second Life’s stunning visuals.

Background systems
In our Hermes Optical range, one of our key products is our background system, simulating a real world photo studio. Second Life® photographers can choose between a wide variety of abstract backgrounds, and even scenic backgrounds based on pictures from the real world. On top of this we unleash their full creativity thanks to offering them the ability to use their own personally designed backgrounds with our backdrop system.
Light systems
Our range of photography tools for Second Life® also includes a number of light systems. Ranging from fully featured light bridges that with a single click create the studio’s atmosphere, to very specialized lights to create the perfect environment for that one picture. All of the Hermes Optical lights offer at least 80 million possible combinations of light intensity and light color – making this one of the most powerful light systems within the virtual world of Second Life®.
Photographer’s gadgets
There’s nothing more annoying for a Second Life® photographer than creating the perfect shot only to have to redo it all because the wrong mouse click repositioned their camera. This is exactly why Snowcrash Digital developed some handy and time saving gadgets for photographers, eg. the posestand system. All of our equipment can be controlled “hands-free”, so the photographer can exactly do what they want to do – take the perfect picture.
