Melita is mainly a console-based practitioner, although she has worked on PC using Nvidia Ansel. In PS4 Pro, she just opens the photo mode whenever she sees a scene that catches her eye or a good spot for taking portraits. When a photo mode is not available, she will adjust the view and the angle, and try to hide the HUD if possible. She may edit the image with Adobe Lightroom and PicsArt afterwards, particularly if she has not been able to adjust the brightness, contrast and saturation. Despite photo modes becoming more common in videogames, they still present important limitations for creativity, such as how far the camera can move or the restriction in some titles for it to be fixed around the playable character.

These photo modes are sufficient for portraits of the character that the player controls, but not for other characters or capturing landscapes. In contrast, these limitations can often be bypassed with ‘camera unlocker’ mods on PC. Although she has captured images in a variety of games, she has two favourite titles: Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End (2016) and Far Cry 5 (2018). In the former, she mostly focusses on portraits as she feels quite passionately about the game and the characters, while the latter entices her due to the beautiful and carefully crafted world around which it is based. Regardless, Melita feels that she only captures what is in the game with her own eyes, not creating any new accounts:
