Immersion

NYT magazine has a video (above) on photographer Robbie Cooper's new project Immersion. From the write up of the slideshow:

These images of kids playing video games were created by Robbie Cooper, a British photographer who employed a Red camera a very-high-resolution video camera and then took stills from the footage. Cooper, who says he was inspired by the camera technique that Errol Morris used to interview people in his documentaries, arranged his equipment so that the players were actually looking at a reflection of the game on a small pane of glass. He placed the camera behind the reflection so that it could look directly into their faces as they played.

Cooper's blog is here.
