Times are rough for the Spider-Men. Peter faced the consequences of not being where he should have been as a teacher, and Miles Morales is getting too distracted from his college application. Maybe a side job taking photos for Robbie might help the Spider-Men get some perspective. The money’s also very much appreciated.
In this guide, I’ll tell you where you can find all Photo Op locations to unlock the New York, New York trophy in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.
Photo Ops works similar to what it was in past games. You can go around the map as either Peter Parker or Miles Morales and occasionally a point of interest will reveal itself. These are the Photo Ops you can take a picture of.
To bring up your camera, simply push ‘up’ on your controller’s touchpad. This will bring up a first-person view where you have to get the subject in view. You don’t need to get a perfect shot as the rewards will be the same as long as the subject is in focus.
The New York City map in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 features a total of 23 Photo Ops collectibles, each of which may be completed for 150 XP and 2x City Tokens. As such, we’ve detailed every Photo Op location for your convenience, which can be found in the following districts listed below:
