Jack Quaid Jokes He Disappeared into Virtual Photography

A Viral Gaming Photomode Joke

In a recent Instagram post, Jack Quaid poked fun at the immersive pull of photomode with the quip, “He got really into virtual photography and no one ever saw him again.” The collage of game screenshots highlights Uncharted 4, Ghost of Tsushima, Cyberpunk 2077, God of War Ragnarok and Sifu—each paused in stunning, camera-ready poses that are now as coveted as in-game loot.

The Rise Of Virtual Photography

Photomode has evolved from a hidden feature to a full-blown hobby, letting players freeze-frame their adventures and adjust lighting, filters and focal length as if they were on a real-world shoot. Uncharted 4’s cinematic vistas and Ghost of Tsushima’s misty landscapes have spawned entire Instagram feeds devoted to digital stills. Even Cyberpunk 2077’s neon-lit streets and God of War Ragnarok’s mythic battlegrounds have become backdrops for fans to flex their newfound “lens.”

From Hughie To Photomode: Quaid’s Career Highlights

Beyond his gaming in-joke, Quaid is best known for starring as Hughie Campbell in Amazon’s hit series The Boys. In January, he celebrated multiple nominations at the 2024 Critics’ Choice Awards, writing, “Thank you @criticschoice for the nominations! I’m beyond grateful. Huge congrats to @theboystv + @companionmovie and an even HUGER congrats to my friends @toni.starr, @erinelairmoriarty and @soapy.t for their noms! #Companion #Novocaine #TheBoys.”

Heads of State premieres July 2nd on @primevideo. #headsofstate.”
