With Max Caufield being a photographer, it makes sense that one of the collectible options is to take snapshots of various items and characters in Life Is Strange: Double Exposure.

What’s it worth to have Vinh owe you a favor?
Many of these snapshots will happen during the natural course of the story, but there are many others that are completely missable, and even a few that will only appear when you make certain choices in the game. If you’re trying to unlock the Frame Fatale achievement/trophy, here’s your guide to how to get every single snapshot in the game.
All Chapter 1 Snapshot Locations
The first few snapshots will be taken with Max’s DSLR camera. Starting with the photo of Amanda, all snapshots will be taken with the Polaroid camera.
To count for the achievement/trophy, every snapshot that has the Double Exposure option should be taken with Double Exposure.

When you’re trying to find Safi’s Camera in Dead World Moses’ office, on the wall near the telescope supplies is a Gemini mural that he painted after Safi died. To take the snapshot, go up the stairs to the loft, and you’ll find a Photo Spot that prompts you to take the snapshot. |
If you have the Cat Content DLC, during the final scene in Chapter 2, the cat will show up at Max’s house in Living World. You’ll need to shift there, then let the cat in.
After setting up a pillow for the cat
, it’ll sit on it, then the game will give you the option to take a snapshot.
This is optional and doesn’t count for the Frame Fatale achievement/trophy.
All Chapter 3 Snapshot Locations
The majority of the Chapter 3 snapshots will be found in Dead World and all are completely missable if you’re not paying attention. Luckily, the locations are in areas you’ll be for the main story, so you shouldn’t have to go out of your way to get these snapshots.

There is sometimes a glitch where snapshots obtained

. To fix this, delete your extra save files, then go back through all the snapshots in Explore mode.
Make sure in this save file you did not kiss Vinh and you gave Gwen the thumb drive.
