Life Is Strange: Double Exposure isn't all trauma and tears. Beautifully blended in with the serious and sensitive topics the devs have given you some fun things to do and smile about. One of those things is the polaroid snapshots you find lying around in both worlds.

Each one you find gives you a glimpse into the moment the photo was taken, as if from another time or reality. You soon find out that all of them have been taken by Max, yet she doesn't remember taking them. But where can you find them all, and what happens when you find them all?

What Are The Polaroid Photos And Who Took Them?

While you're walking around, the game gives you plenty of things you can interact with to either look at it, take a snapshot, or examine. In addition to these, you'll find random polaroid photos around the game that you can take to add to your collection.

The first few that you find have blank titles, so it's not clear who took the photos until you find the Snowball War one in Chapter 2. Max mentions that it's her handwriting on the snapshot.

Each photo you find has captured a moment with Max and some of her friends, and you'll hear dialog and sounds from each moment when you take each photo. However, Max mentions a few times that she doesn't remember these moments.

It seems that some other Max in another world, one that we don't get to visit, has taken these snapshots and left them around Caledon campus for you to find.

If you ever miss picking up one of the polaroids, the game lets you revisit scenes in each chapter so you can find any missing collectibles.

When you've found every polaroid photo in the game you'll unlock the Archival Footage trophy/achievement.

All Chapter 1 Polaroid Photos

The timelines don't split till the very end of Chapter 1, so all the polaroids you'll find here are in the original world, which is later be referred to as Dead World.

Finding all Chapter 1 polaroid photos will unlock the A Trick Of The Light trophy/achievement.
