Besides the combat, the engaging story, and the slick traversal mechanics, there’s another staple for the latest Spider-Man games: collectibles. One of those is the Photo Ops, which returns to this entry to make them more dynamic and fun to find. With a total of 23 scattered across New York and the new areas of the map, players will want to find them all if they are aiming for that Platinum trophy. If you’re having a hard time finding some of them, here’s a list of all the Photo Ops and their locations in Spider-Man 2.
Where To Find All Photo Ops in Spider-Man 2
You’ll unlock the first Photo Op early in the game, introducing you to this new collectible system. Finding them is great as they reward the player with City Tokens and experience and will get you closer to achieving a 100% completion rate. Before we delve into each one, below is a map with all the Photo Ops locations in Spider-Man 2 to make your search easier. And with that, let’s go over each one.

In Astoria, you’ll find 2 Photo Ops. One requires you to take a picture of the people around the barbecue area, and the second one tasks you with taking a picture of the man with the wrestling mask.

Central Park
Good old Central Park also has 2 Photo Ops. In one, you need to photograph a place where a supposed alien invasion happened; for the next one, you must watch out for a group of dancers.
