As a seasoned detective and connoisseur of narrative-driven games, I must say that this walkthrough for “Life is Strange: Before the Storm” has truly taken me on a rollercoaster ride through the emotional labyrinth that is Chloe Price’s life. From the intricate details of each scene to the subtle nuances in character development, it’s clear that the creators have put their hearts and souls into crafting this gripping tale.
Despite the somber backdrop of despair and high-stakes detective work, Life is Strange: Double Exposure provides players with opportunities to savor tranquil, peaceful instances amidst the chaos.
Similar to other games in the Life is Strange series, Double Exposure offers peaceful intervals when the narrative pauses, allowing you to delve deeper into each chapter. In these tranquil periods, you may come across Polaroid photos hidden throughout the chapter.
As you gather the Polaroids, you’ll notice faint reverberations of a moment Max seems unaware he captured, suggesting they originate from an alternate dimension. The Polaroid snapshots are strategically placed within each chapter, tucked away in locations that require detours to find them.
Adding these Polaroids to your collection is as simple as picking them up. You can find your entire collection, along with Max’s Journal and Phone, by navigating to the same menu.
Instead of relying on hints from the Collections tab for the Polaroid locations, this guide offers you a direct solution by providing the precise spots where they can be found.

Chapter 1: Still Life
There are only three Polaroids in this chapter, and they are relatively easy to find.
Finding all the photos rewards you with the “A Trick of the Light” achievement or trophy.
In this game, although it’s not directly mentioned, you have the option to advance quickly by pressing the ‘Skip’ button (which is R1 on PlayStation 5). However, regardless of your selections, they won’t impact the game if you opt for “Explore Scene.
| Polaroid | Scene | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Reggie and Diamond at the Snapping Turtle | A Drink To Remember | On a bar table next to the back door of the Snapping Turtle. This polaroid is available when you’re looking for things Amanda is interested in. |
| Snowman | Things Are Looking Up | This one is a little easier to miss. Outside the Observatory building, on the sidewalk by the fountain statue. Avoid proceeding to take a photo of the owl by veering left. The polaroid is there on the ground. |
| Torn Nebb Plushie | Upstairs, Downcast | In Hellerton House, on the table by the telescope. |
Chapter 2: Penumbra
In this chapter, there are a grand total of five Polaroid snapshots to find. Gathering each one will earn you the “Advancement Unlocked” or “Progress Achieved” reward.
By this point, Max has realized that she took those photos, but she doesn’t remember them.
In another time or universe, it’s likely that a different ‘Max’ is responsible for taking them, and those Polaroids somehow found their way into this reality of hers.

Chapter 5: Decoherence
As the two realities begin to intertwine, we find ourselves in a state of utter chaos and confusion.
Max has to go through her past and help others in Caledon process just what Safi is causing.
Thankfully, the Polaroids in this chapter aren’t hard to find, as most are in plain sight.
Finding all photos gives you the “View Finding” achievement/trophy.
