  • How to unlock Photographer Extraordinaire

    These achievements require that you fill all the photo albums in the game. Photo albums can be found in the Game (Pause) Menu under Albums while playing any game mode. To take photos, you must be in Zoo view (third-person of your avatar) and then push . Use the sticks to zoom-in or look around. Snap a photo with .

    There are two types of photo albums you need to fill: Animals and Hidden Coins. For the Animals, there are 24 albums, one album for each type of animal in the game. You essentially need to snap a picture with the camera of every animals species in the game, as well as all of the color variants. In total, this will require 166 photos. You will have to adopt each of the regular species, but the color variants can only be bred. See "One of Everything" for more info on breeding color variants. For the Hidden Coins, there is one album consisting of 25 pictures of the Hidden Coins in the game. These coins are hidden among various exhibits, usually embedded in the walls/roof of the rock shelter of the exhibit, but not always. The coins are bronze in color and are a little larger than your in-game characters head. The specific coins and the exhibit they are found in are listed below (thanks to Van Uden for compiling the list):
    Meerkat: Tundra Large
    Chimp: Alpine Medium
    Iguana: Temperate Large
    Antelope: Savannah Large
    Sloth: Tundra Medium
    Binturong: Savannah Medium
    Red Panda: Alpine Large
    Lion: Savannah Large
    Elephant: Temperate Large

    Use the video below to find the exact location of each coin (credit: Youtube user Amanda f).

    After taking a photo of an animal or coin, make sure to push to keep it. A pop-up will come on screen stating that "You picture was saved to the __ album." It needs to say either Hidden Coin or Animal album. If it says Photo Journal instead, take the photo again as it was not recognized correctly (or you already have that photo). You can check the albums to see what photos you are missing from each album. Blank spots will appear for the photos you are missing.
