Spider-Man 2 Photo Ops locations are found all over New York, with various things you can find and photograph for Robbie Robertson at the Daily Bugle. A mission early on will ask you to photograph some rooftop frisbee (with one of the Spider-Man 2 Easter eggs you can find concealed within) but then the rest are an optional collectible. If you're struggling to find them all, don't worry, here's where to find all the Spider-Man 2 photos and what you're looking for!

If you're missing any of the Spider-Man 2 Photo Ops in your Collections menu, then use the above image to cross-reference against my map and listing to see where you need to go to complete the set for the New York, New York Trophy.

When you get close to a Spider-Man 2 Photo Ops location a green camera icon will appear on your map, and if you click the right stick to scan the area then the same floating icon will also appear in the world to guide you to the correct spot. Once you're in position, swipe up on the touchpad to access the camera and hold L2 to aim it. Look around until you see one of the following three notifications on screen:

  • Subject Obscured
    • You're looking at the right target, but something is blocking your view so adjust your position.
  • Subject Not in Focus
    • You're not quite looking at the right target, so adjust your aim a small amount.
  • Subject in Focus
    • You're good to go, so hit R1 to collect the Photo Op.

Most photo ops are fairly obvious but a couple are literally hidden so let's take a look at those now:

Hidden Oasis in Williamsburg

For #20 Hidden Oasis in Williamsburg, you need to get up on the rooftops and then take a photo looking down into the water tank that's been converted into a bar.

Now That's a Bridge in Downtown Brooklyn

The other potentially problematic Photo Op is #21 Now That's a Bridge in Downtown Brooklyn, as the camera icon designates where you need to stand rather than the target to capture and there's a wide view to scan. Position yourself behind the group of tourists, then aim your camera above them at the Brooklyn Bridge to get the perfect shot.
