Where to Find Every Photo Ops Location in Spider-Man 2
You can find all of the Photo Ops locations once you get access to the entirety of New York City following the tutorial section. You’ll meet Robbie Robertson, who’s putting together a photo journal of life in New York, ranging from troubadours in city squares to friends playing tennis on a rooftop.
These snapshots go into your Collections tab — along with Marko’s Memories — and can be viewed anytime. They give you 150 XP and 2 City Tokens each. The first one you get is High Stakes in Little Odessa. It’s unmissable and acts as a tutorial for these activities. After finding them all, you’ll get the bronze trophy called New York, New York. You’ll also get an additional 5 City Tokens and 1,000 XP.
