Little Odessa Photo Ops locations in Spider-Man 2

There are three Photo Ops locations within Little Odessa in Spider-Man 2, but you’ll most likely complete the first two as part of the Show Me New York main mission.

High-Stakes

You will most definitely find the first Photo Ops location as part of Show Me New York, because the first waypoint for this mission will guide you to its location. Once you’re there, you'll need to take a photo of the lads playing frisbee across two buildings.

We're Here Every Week

The next Photo Ops location is just north-west of where Show Me New York takes you. The place you need to visit is a bustling side street filled with shops and market stalls. For this Photo Op, you simply need to take a photo of this street.

Now That's a Bridge

The second Photo Ops in Downtown Brooklyn can be a little hard to find as, while you may be able to figure out what you're meant to be photographing quite easily, where to take the photo is a different matter. First, you need to head to the northern section of Downtown Brooklyn - close to the coastline and between the two bridges.

Next, you need to find a street lying between two redstone buildings where a group of people are standing in the middle of the street taking photographs.

Look for this building with the Spider-Men mural in Williamsburg. | Image credit: Eurogamer/Insomniac Games

Once you've found this mural, climb atop the section of the building it's been painted on so you're standing above the painting. For this position, you'll now be able to look down into the water tank or, to be more accurate, the former water tank, because you'll discover a party going on inside. Time to take a photo!

How to complete Photo Ops in Spider-Man 2

The first step in completing a Photo Ops in Spider-Man 2 is to find its location. There's at least one Photo Ops in every district and we've outlined all of their locations in the sections below.

Once you've found a Photo Ops, you need to figure out what you’re meant to be taking a photo of. This is usually pretty simple as it's typically something the citizens of New York are doing. There are two Photo Ops - one in Downtown Brooklyn, the other in Williamsburg - which are less obvious though.

After finding the subject, it's time to take a photo! Open the camera mode by swipe upwards on the PS5 controller’s touchpad - don’t press down on the touchpad or less you'll open the menu.

Image credit: Eurogamer/Insomniac Games

Now you need to aim your camera on the subject by holding down the 'L2' button. You’ll know if you can successfully take the photo, because the lens will turn green and the words 'Subject in Focus' will aim.

Image credit: Eurogamer/Insomniac Games

The lens will turn red, however, if you’re in the wrong position. When this happens, you'll get prompts like 'Subject Too Close', 'Subject Obscured' or 'Subject Not in Focus'. These prompts will give you an idea of where you should be standing or what you need to do to take the photo.

For successfully taking a Photo Ops, you receive 150 XP, 2 City Tokens and progress on that district. You'll also unlock the New York, New York trophy.

If you complete every Photo Ops and, in doing so, complete the Show Me New York mission, you'll earn an additional 1000 XP and 5 City Tokens.

Hope you enjoy finding all of the Photo Ops in Spider-Man 2!
