Joerg Colberg's Conscientious blog has a series of links to photographers who take portrait shots of video gamers in action. It's a fascinating look at the power of gaming and how it can drag mind, body and spirit into an immersive experience. These people look like they are being controlled by a powerful force.

The shot we've included is by Shauna Frischkorn and is titled Todd- (playing test drive 2001).

Todd Deutsch is another photographer who has brilliantly captured the same subject.

Anyone done this?
