Robbie Cooper - Immersion

The following photographer documents the process of being absorbed from another perspective.
He captures the facial expressions of children whilst playing video games and evidences the level of immersion developed by each of them in relation to the action taking place in the game.







In some of the images, the artist manages to capture the subject when he's actually looking at the camera. He has managed to do that by recording them trough the screen. Yet again, the subjects have no idea that they are being photographed/recorded and therefore allow themselves to act naturally and freely without feeling intimidated by the camera. 
Had they been aware of the documenting process, the models surely wouldn't have acted the way they did.  I have attached the video produced by Robbie Cooper which reflects the "Immersion" process.


 

In this video the author talks about the project and what has inspired him to create it.
