Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has 23 Photo Ops locations. These collectibles are needed for 100% District completion and unlock the trophy New York, New York. The first Photo Op is automatically completed during Main Quest: 03: Show Me New York, then they can be completed at any time while playing as either Peter or Miles. These are marked on the map in defogged areas, or when the entire district is defogged at the second district level.
Photo Ops require you to go to the specified location, and then find the correct thing to take a picture of. Most involve taking a photo of the obviously unique people, items, or environment in the area. None of them are missable, they can still be found after the story in free-roam.

Apparently Photo Op #7: Champion of Champions is not available right before the point of no return. At least it wasn’t for me. (It was nighttime then and the guy simply wasn’t there.) But don’t panic, he reappeared after finishing the story.
