Photo Ops are your chance to show off your photography skills — there are interesting subjects to snap photos of, and they’re all over the city. You’ll need to find their locations to mark them on your map, and even if you’ve found the area, it isn’t always clear what you need to take a picture of. Below we’ll show you where to find all 23 photo opportunities and explain what you’re actually taking pictures of. Find them all to unlock the ‘New York, New York‘ trophy.

Photo Ops Guide
Photo Ops are picture opportunities for Spider-Man — after losing his job, he’ll get an offer to sell shots of New York to the newspaper. Photo ops are marked on your map with a turquoise icon and matching color in the game-world. After arriving at a Photo Op, you’ll need to find the right subject to snap a shot of.
To use your camera, swipe up on the PS5 controller. This will automatically bring up your camera. Search the area for something interesting. In the guide below, we’ll show exactly what you need to take pictures of. There are 22 Photo Ops.
