The original Life is Strange game tasks players with taking pictures of photo ops scattered around the world for extra achievements. In Life is Strange: Double Exposure, getting achievements as Max relies on a similar mechanic - but this time, you'll need to find Polaroids across the game.
There are a total of 3 Polaroids in Double Exposure's Chapter 1. While there aren't a ton of Polaroids to find in this chapter, they're a great start to your collection.
Note that you can get Polaroids either during your first playthrough, or in a subsequent one by going back using the Chapter Select Menu. So, in this guide, we'll not only tell you exactly where to find the pictures in each scene, but also which scene each Polaroid is in through the game's Chapter Select menu.
Polaroid #1 Location
The first Polaroid is found in the bar and is pretty easy to find, giving you a chance to get acclimated to the mechanic. Head past Diamond and Reggie to the door - next to it is the very first Polaroid.
Polaroid #2 Location
The second Polaroid is a little more difficult to find, but still not too difficult. You'll be able to locate this one after leaving the rooftop area and starting on your walk home. During this walk, Max will have a choice to go left or right at an owl statue. Going right will take you home, but you'll first want to head left to get the Polaroid.
Polaroid #3 Location
Your final Polaroid in Chapter 1 is found towards the end of the chapter, when you're getting dressed as Max while you wait on Amanda. In the downstairs living room, look around and locate the telescope. Next to it sitting on the bench is a Polaroid depicting some broken toys.
Chapter Select Scene: Upstairs, Downcast
That's where you can find every Polaroid in Life is Strange: Double Exposure Chapter 1. Getting all of these Polaroids will not only clue you in to some lore, but also nets you a new achievement. Once you've gotten all the Polaroids from Chapter 1 - either during your first playthrough or by going back using Chapter Select - you can move on to collecting all of the Polaroids in Chapter 2.
