ESO Photo Mode Feature

I’ve been thinking it would be really cool if ESO had a proper photo mode.
I know we can kind of work around it right now by hiding the UI and using first-person or certain camera angles, but it’s not really the same as having a dedicated photo mode with free camera controls, lighting options, poses, or whatever other tools it could include.
Other MMOs already do this really well, and it ends up becoming a big part of the community. For example, in a very critically acclaimed MMO the photo mode isn’t just for taking nice screenshots, it’s basically its own culture at this point. People share their characters and outfits everywhere on social media, and there are even whole websites dedicated to showcasing fashion. I’m aware of https://eso-hub.com/en/fashion and the fashion subreddits as well, but I still feel we would benefit a lot from a proper system like this to showcase outfits better.
ESO already looks amazing, and honestly a lot of the official screenshots on the ESO website feel like they were taken with that kind of controlled setup. It would be great if players could more easily recreate that kind of quality themselves in-game.
It’s not just about taking prettier screenshots, but about giving players more tools to be creative and share their characters and experiences in a more meaningful way. We already have an amazing community when it comes to what players create specially with housing and fashion, I believe this would expand our way of playing the game in a positive way.

Emeratis✭✭✭✭✭A screenshot mode that does most of the functionality of Infinity Nikki is the top of my wishlist for eso and something I ask for every chance I get so +1 to this request from me. I'm glad more people are asking about it lately because maybe there is hope we can see it sooner rather than later.

✭It's actually weird how a game that surrounds housing and cosmetics so much doesn't have a proper photo mode.@MorvanClaude on PC/NA, don't try to trap me with lore subjects, it will work🦇5 -
