Wild Amateur Pics - but not like you're thinking...
— info@LSTouristInfo.com

Wildlife Photography Challenge is an exclusive side mission for Franklin in the enhanced version of Grand Theft Auto V for players returning from the PS3 or Xbox 360 edition. Completing it rewards the player with the Kraken submersible.

Description[]

After completing the first Strangers and Freaks mission for Beverly, you will receive a text message saying he's signed you up for the Wildlife Photography Challenge. At the same time, an email from the LS Tourist Board will arrive, giving you details. The animals must be photographed up close using Snapmatic on the phone, and must be centered in the frame, with no obstructions. Once photographed correctly, a prompt will appear to email the photo to the LS Tourism Board, whose contact info appears in Franklin's phone. If the animal being photographed is fleeing, stunning it with the Stun Gun can prove useful, though smaller animals like hens may be killed instantly.

Objective[]

There are a total of 20 animals to photograph. Players can track their progress under the General section of the Stats menu, where it is listed under "Wildlife photographs".

Email message[]

You've been nominated to take part in Southern San Andreas' premier amateur photography competition in the wildlife sector. You'll join hundreds of other young, talented hopefuls in getting heat stroke, poison ivy poisoning and, most importantly, giving your work away for free. For the first young photographer to document the whole array of Southern San Andreas' fauna - a life of underwater adventure and photography awaits.

Submissions are subject to the following rules:

  • Only photograph submissions of living animals will be accepted
  • Animals must be centered in the photograph.
  • Photographs captured using camera filters or borders will not be eligible for submission
  • Selfies are NOT eligible for submission
  • All image rights are transferred to Tourist Board

Make your own chum, fill your glands with mountain lion pheromones, rub yourself in honey, and jack off in a bear pit. Do whatever it takes to get the shot of your life. And try not to get eaten, unless you've uploaded first. We can't wait to see (and steal) all your submissions.

Good Luck

Reward[]

Once all the animals have been photographed, Franklin will receive a text message from the Los Santos Tourism Board, saying that he has won the competition.

Congratulations!
Hello Franklin,
The Southern San Andreas Tourist Board Young Amateur Wildlife Photographer of the Year Competition is over.
Some of our photographers fell off cliffs.
A few got eaten by mountain lions.
A couple overdosed on peyote.
But only one of them sent us photos of all the animals on our list and signed over the image rights without question. That young photographer was you. Congratulations!
You have won a new limited edition Kraken Submersible.
It's waiting at the jetty in the San Chianski Mountain Range.
It is clear to us here at the Tourist Board that you possess a rare gift for capturing the living essence of animals in your photographic work, and an endearing lack of commercial aspiration. Since you've traversed the landmass of Southern San Andreas in your search for images for our calendars, stamps, an mouse mats, we'd love you to continue your adventures in the seas. And we mean it when we say we can't wait to find new ways to take advantage of your talents in the future.
Sincerely,
Everyone in the Southern San Andreas and Los Santos Tourist Board family.
— LS Tourist Info email

The Kraken Sub will now spawn at the Cape Catfish pier in the San Chianski Mountain Range, and can also be purchased and driven at a dock should the player own one. A cheat that is able to spawn it is also available.
