Excellent photography locations

Zombie pictures

• To take close up pictures of zombies, behind the counter of Crislip's Home Saloon is an excellent location.

• Since Zombies cannot get into the Al Fresca Plaza fountain, this is also an excellent location to take zombie close ups.

• Leisure Park is an excellent place to take full profile photos of zombies.

Small item pictures

• Josh's Jewels in Paradise Plaza is an excellent place to take close up pictures of small items. Destroy the 4 chairs and place the items on the low table. Watch Frank's shadow though.
• During the daytime, in Wonderland Plaza inside the railing next to the south side bunny balloon, with green carpet.
• Avoid the rooftop vent platform, as the natural light is unpredictable. During the brightest part of the day the stark reflection ruins small item pictures. Josh's Jewels is a better location.

Large item pictures

• Women's Lib in (E204). Has good lighting. With green walls and a brown floor. The display windows base is pure white for smaller items.
• Colombian Roastmasters (Al Fresca Plaza). Has a brown and pink background.
• Kid's Choice Clothing Has a yellow wall and purple floor. Where the Stuffed Bear is located.

Trivia

Taking a photo of Natalie Meyer's, as well as Susan Walsh's, crotch garners horror points.
