This short paper introduces the premises, approach, and initial considerations of an ongoing research project on experimental photographic practices within digital game worlds. Ingame photography allows players and artists to engage with video games in subjective, experimental, and creative ways. As both a documentation and expressive practice, photography in video games re-mediates, re-purposes, and appropriates the fictional spaces of digital worlds. In-game photogrammetry, in turn, enhances these forms of engagement, bridging technical and playful practices for the exploration of digital built environments. This paper presents an initial application of in-game photogrammetry, laying the groundwork for its adoption as an archeogaming strategy to document the cultural heritage of digital built environments.
