The Crew 2 Photo Ops Locations

This guide shows all photo ops locations in The Crew 2. There are 92 photo ops in the game. Some of the them require you to perform a certain action with a certain car and some require you to just take a picture of a landmark. Some Photo Ops have to be completed at night, while it’s raining, when it’s foggy etc. To simply bypass those requirements, you can change most environmental settings in the live photo menu itself. Simply press   (PS4) / (XB1) to bring up the settings menu and then cycle through the different options with    /  (PS4) / / (XB1) . You can also turn back time by holding  or jump ahead in time by holding .

Doing Photo Ops gives you money, followers, the “Pics or it didn’t happen” trophy/achievement (for 40 photos) and it adds towards your progression in each racing discipline.

All 4 racing series have a photo op menu called “Photo Album” that is divided into 3 categories. The categories are made up of 6-10 photo ops and amount to a total of 92 photo ops.
You can view the Photo Albums in the Pause Menu > Activities > Select Racing Discipline > Photo Album.

In the Photo Albums Menu you can activate each photo op individually and see the exact requirements. This is by far the easiest and most reliable way to trigger each op. Then all you have to do is go to the locations shown in the guide below.
The Photo Album Menu also lets you keep track of which ones you have completed. They will also be marked on the map after taking the photo.
