red camera game 1 British Photographer Uses RED Camera to Capture Kids Playing Video Games

British Photographer Robbie Cooper used his RED camera to illustrate that look of total concentration kids tend to get when they are playing an engrossing video game. Adults make faces too, but kids are more photogenic.

Robbie photographed the kids as they played games such as Grand Theft Auto IV and Call of Duty 4. He placed his camera behind a pane of glass so the kids wouldn’t be self-conscious about the giant hunk of RED goodness pointed right at them.

Below are more photos from Cooper’s set. No word on if he plans to do a "People staring into their laptops" collection:
