Photography is a game mechanic within the Dead Rising series, with the primary objective of capturing unique photographs to earn prestige points (PP).

Introduced in Dead Rising, photography plays a significant role in the game as the player controls Frank West, a photojournalist. By taking compelling photos, the player can earn large amounts of PP, falling into various categories such as Erotica, Horror, Outtake, Brutality, and Drama, depending on the subject matter photographed. Frank's camera can take up to 30 photos before requiring a battery replacement. Notably, photography does not appear in Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop.

Occasionally, Frank will encounter photo ops as he explores the mall. These involve capturing special survivor actions for substantial PP rewards. While most psychopaths offer such opportunities during encounters, only select survivors provide them. Once successfully photographed, a photo op will not reappear in the playthrough, often requiring specific conditions for activation. The player can view Frank's photos through the pause menu, featuring a picture viewer that displays the last 30 photographs taken.

In Dead Rising 2 and Dead Rising 2: Case Zero, photography is absent, as the protagonist, Chuck Greene, is not a photographer. Photography returns in Dead Rising 2: Case West, the epilogue to Dead Rising 2, in which Chuck teams up with Frank to capture evidential photographs exposing Phenotrans. However, the game features a significantly less advanced photography system. In Dead Rising 2: Off the Record, Frank utilizes a digital camera without the need for batteries and introduces a new skill move involving the camera.

After its absence in Dead Rising 3, Dead Rising 4 brings photography back with enhancements such as night vision and a spectrum analyzer for mission clues.

Types of photos[]

When a photograph is taken, the player may receive PP bonuses from one or more of the following genres, depending on what Frank photographs:

  • Horror - Scoring this bonus involves capturing images of zombies or events featuring graphic gore.
  • Brutality - This bonus is earned by taking pictures of scenes depicting blood and violence.
  • Outtake - Scoring this bonus involves taking pictures of zombies with gag items on their heads or capturing humorous scenes.
  • Erotica - This bonus is earned by taking pictures of interesting parts of female characters' bodies or even female zombies' bodies.
  • Drama - Scoring this bonus involves capturing images of dramatic events.
  • No Genre - This bonus is earned by taking pictures of things that don't fit into any of the other specified categories.

Additionally, PP is awarded from:

  • Photo Ops - Scoring up to 10,000 PP at a time is possible by taking pictures of certain survivors' actions when the photo op symbol appears.
  • PP Stickers - Scoring up to 1,000 PP at a time can be achieved by taking pictures of these stickers in the mall.

Dead Rising[]

Introduction[]

The opening cutscene of Dead Rising follows Frank and Ed DeLuca in a helicopter on their way to Willamette. Frank explains that he received a tip-off that something big was going down in Willamette, and orders Ed to fly them over the main street so he can take some pictures of what he believes to be a mass riot.

This segment acts as a tutorial for the player to learn how to take pictures and gain prestige points. There are four major opportunities to take photographs, each of which are capable of racking up some major PP.

Note: Pressing Start button/Start button will skip the helicopter ride and bring Frank straight to the rooftop.

Lone motorist[]

Andyfails

The first major event occurs when Frank and Ed spot a lone motorist desperately fending off a group of zombies from atop his vehicle. He swings his baseball bat wildly before noticing the helicopter and waving for assistance. However, he is soon outmatched when the zombies drag him down and devour him.

This photo opportunity can score the player up to 400 PP. Using the camera zoom function, and making sure to capture the zombies in the shot, can help increase the score.

School bus[]

Schoolbushorror

The second event depicts a swarm of zombies gathered around a school bus at an intersection. Presumably trying to get to the person(s) inside, they are seen repeatedly pounding on the windows and rocking the bus. There is not much action taking place, but the scene itself offers between 100-300 PP if photographed. Again, the more zombies in the shot, the better.

Gas station explosion[]

GasStation

Thirdly, as Ed and Frank fly by, the Tornado Gas Station suddenly explodes, sending numerous burning zombies hurtling across the street. This presents a golden opportunity to score some PP in the high hundreds. Timing the shot for the explosion is key here, as unexpecting players may miss this chance.

Woman in trouble[]

Susannadies

Finally, right after the gas station explosion, just as Ed begins to take the helicopter up, Frank demands he get closer to a certain building as he can see activity on the rooftop.

It turns out there is a crowd of zombies closing in on a woman. The woman is armed with a handgun, but quickly runs out of ammo. She then throws her gun at a zombie and flails her arm at the helicopter to signal for help. Unfortunately, three zombies grab ahold of her, making her lose her balance and fall; her body (and the zombies) splatters as it hits the pavement below.

This event can score the player up to 700 PP. Timing is also useful here, and the player should aim to shoot just as the woman falls, and again mid-fall.

Battery replacement[]

Cam's Camera in Paradise Plaza

Frank's camera can take up to 30 photos before running out of batteries. Frank can replenish his camera's batteries in three locations:


Psychopath photo ops[]

Photo opportunities, or photo ops, are identified when a yellow PP icon appears over a survivor or a psychopath's head as they perform a specific action, granting the player a large PP bonus.

Each photo op can only be captured once per playthrough. The amount of PP awarded for each shot depends on how well it is captured, with a maximum of 10,000 PP each. For maximum PP, zoom in for the closest possible angle.

Best photography locations[]

Zombie pictures[]

  • To take close-up pictures of zombies, behind the counter of Crislip's Home Saloon is an excellent location.
Dead rising photography fountain al fresca
  • Since zombies cannot get into the Al Fresca Plaza fountain, this is also an excellent location to take zombie closeups.
  • 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 four chairs and place the items on the low table. Watch for Frank's shadow, though.
  • Another good place during the daytime is in Wonderland Plaza inside the railing next to the south-side bunny balloon, with the green carpet.
  • Avoid the rooftop vent platform, as the natural light is unpredictable. During the brightest time of day, the stark reflection ruins small item pictures, in which case Josh's Jewels is a better location.

Large item pictures[]

Trivia[]

Dead Rising[]

Dead rising phography horror natalie
  • Taking a photo of Natalie Meyer's crotch will grant the player Horror points. It is believed that the same can be said for Susan Walsh's, crotch, but there has yet to be a confirmed account of this.
  • Frank's camera has the Capcom logo on it in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars and in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3.
  • Frank can use his camera to "level up" in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3.
  • If Frank takes an erotica shot with enough PP points, Frank's nose will bleed all the way down to his chin.
  • Erotica is the only genre of photo that does not have a unique photo opportunity.
  • When attempting to complete the Saint achievement/trophy, the photo opportunities of Kay Nelson being killed and Ross Folk killing himself cannot be captured under normal circumstances, as the player must ensure all survivors survive. If the player has completed case files up to the point that Dr. Barnaby is in the security room but does not complete Case 6-1: Santa Cabeza, Dr. Barnaby will be counted towards Frank's survivor count when completing 72 Hour Mode. As such, a player may choose one alternate survivor to omit from rescuing. Opting to let Kay Nelson get killed by Jo (or having Frank kill her himself) will become possible, though allowing Ross to shoot himself will still be impossible, as Tonya Waters will be alienated from joining Frank and the player would be unable to rescue more than 49 survivors in this case.

Off the Record[]

Psychopaths
  • When fighting Randy, wait until he runs out of breath, then take a photo of him to get an outtake bonus (up to 1,000 PP).
  • Randy also has a regular photo op that is difficult to see, as it only occurs when Danni is dead. The player can see it more easily in Sandbox Mode, as there Randy spawns without Danni. Randy will start walking around the chapel, eventually coming to the entrance, where he will start doing a weird pose, which is the player's cue to take a photo.
  • When fighting the magician duo, let Reed (the psychopath with the rocket launcher) knock Frank down. He will do an overdramatic bow; take a picture as he does this to get a drama bonus (up to 1,000 PP).
  • Slappy has two PP bonuses. One of him laying on the ground after a jump kick, while the other is him jumping down to the first floor. Both give an Outtake bonus and up to 1,000 PP.
  • When fighting Sgt. Boykin, leave the fight area and come back. The player might see him shooting or stomping the zombie corpses around the place; take a photo of him doing this to get a brutality bonus.
  • Like Randy, Boykin also has a photo op that is difficult to see; he will occasionally walk up to one of the soldier corpses and talk to them—this is the player's photo cue.
Survivors
  • Taking a picture of the 4 nerds from Brains Over Brawn huddled around their game gives outtake bonuses for each of them. Also, taking a picture of Curtis (the nerd in the schoolgirl outfit) always gives an outtake bonus instead of drama.
  • Taking a picture of Lillian (the daughter from Family Feud) gives a much bigger drama bonus than other survivors (more than 1,000 PP). However, this only works if the she is photographed before she joins the player's party.
Items
  • After paying Randolph (Art Appreciation mission) $3,000, Frank can photograph his painting for a (very measly) horror bonus.
  • Taking a picture of the molemen from the Uranus Zone mini game also gives a measly outtake bonus.
