How to unlock the Quality Research Photo achievement in BioShock - Definitive Guide

The highest grade is A.

The easiest way to get an A on your photo is to make sure the enemy is fully in the frame and facing you (it will also probably have to be your first shot of this particular enemy, as subsequent ones will get lower grades).

Other things that will help get you an A are having multiple enemies in the photo, and photographing an enemy during an "action shot" (e.g. when an enemy is attacking you or a Spider Splicer is on the ceiling).

Nice guide.

A good easy A would probably be taking a picture of a Big Daddy with a Little Sister as you can line up your photo and not be attacked for the multiple targets bonus. Also if you get close to a Big Daddy he will try to push you away and I believe that counts as an action shot as well.

Closeups with action for first pic seemed like an easy A.

Take a grade A research photo.

Easiest done if you can get an action shot of a big daddy attacking you. Best way to do it is stand quite far away. Take a shot at the big daddy then as it runs towards you take a photograph.

You will also get a bonus if there are multiple subjects in the photo. Eg little sister or a splicer.

As soon as you get a grade A phtograph the achievment is yours

This achievement requires you to get the highest grade on a research photo, which is A out of an A,B, or C basis.

There are factors that apply to a heightened grade, which are:
1. Closeness to the center the subject is
2. Multiple subjects
3. Action shot (ie. on fire/electrocuted, hitting, shooting, climbing, throwing)

There is also negative influences, such as:
1. Taking a photo of something already photographed (this greatly reduces grade)
2. Subject is dead

For a good probability of an A, try waiting until a splicer walks into hacked security camera, then light him/her on fire. Or if this isn't working too well light a Big Daddy on fire, get close, and take a picture when it pushes you away, preferably while you have the Static Discharge tonic equipped.

Any questions/comments feel free to send me a message or comment.

I got this cheevo the very first picture I took, right after I picked up the camera when you have to take a picture through the glass.. Just make sure the splicer is facing you and in the centre, also get as close to the glass as you can..

Good luck :)

You need an "A" rank on at least one photo. The easiest way to get this is with an action shot. If an enemy is attacking you and you can get them mostly in-frame, this should come without a problem. This is the best way to work toward "Research PhD" as well.

This achievement will come naturally as you work your way through the “Research PhD” achievement. A high grade photograph will require you to be in combat and maybe even have multiple subjects in view at once. It would be nearly impossible to work towards the “Research PhD” achievement and not get this achievement.

Refer to the “Research PhD” achievement for more information regarding research.
