Saints Row (2022 Remake) has 21 Edith Vision Journal Photos for the Cutting Edge Venture. You only need any 14 of 21 for trophies, achievements, to complete the venture and to get 100% district completion. The remaining 7 are not needed for anything and can be skipped. Each of these unlocks a unique “Cutting Edge Material”. You can use these to customize your weapons, vehicles and your character. They are basically unique-looking skins.
None of Edith’s Vision Journal Photos are missable. You can do them at any time after building the Cutting Edge Venture for $400,000 (Empire Tier 3). See Saints Row Ventures Guide if you need more help with increasing your Empire Tier.
Edith’s Vision Photos all get marked by purple icons on the map after building the Cutting Edge venture. However, once you get there you are given a yellow search radius and must photograph a certain object. When you scroll over the icon on the world map it gives a hint what to look for. Press to open the camera and take a photo of the object when it has a green outline. It must be centered and at the correct zoom level.
This guide shows them in the order they are closest together.

You just have to go to the top of the rooftop at night for the Galaxy Material if you haven’t figured it out already.

For galaxy material you should go on the roof of the build in the night and do a photo of the sky.
Only at night.
Terra says
What can you do if the mirror material is simply not there? I go to the pool as indicated and there are simply no shards of glass visible there. The only thing the camera focuses on is the swan float.
