I didn't get the achievement the first time I took the picture, but it unlocked after I followed Meszerus' directions. Thanks!

Unfortunately if you do this one and the achievement doesn’t pop (like for me) you have to replay the entire game over from a new save file. This achievement is one chance only.

I have found the 5 bottles, took a picture of it, got the picture unlocked in the game, by the achievement did not unlock. However in the Xbox menu it shows completion for the achievement at 100%. When I try to replay the chapter the bottles are now always broken and I cannot retake the picture anymore :/

I see the above two people eventually unlocked the achievement, but for others who find that the bottles are permanently smashed and thus can't unlock the achievement, there is one workaround I've found that I used & successfully popped the achievement with.

Go to 'Play Episodes', 'Chapter 5', but instead of selecting 'Nightmare' to start from, start from 'Beach' (the scene just before Nightmare). When given the option of how to play this scene, I selected "Restart this chapter using Slot 2" (I had snapped the photo originally on Shot 1). Play through Beach (it's really short, it's just a single dialogue), thus naturally progressing into Nightmare, and making your way to the junkyard area. This time the bottles WILL have reset, allowing you to collect them and photo them again. This allowed me to pop the achievement.

Note that it doesn't work if you go straight into Nightmare. By playing from a previous scene, it works. I don't know if it matters what save Slot you use.

When you enter the junkyard section you will need to find 5 bottles before you can exit. Once you find them, head to the exit and look to the right at the board with 6 bottles on it. You will be prompted to take a photo and unlock the trophy.

At the very next sneaking section, you'll need to find five bottles in the junkyard. After finding all five, they will be sitting on a desk near the end. Snap the photo of all the bottles lined up.

During the nightmare stage where you are in the junkyard, there are 5 bottles to collect. On the approach to the lighthouse, in front of the shop, you will see bottles standing in a row. Take their photo. Of course, if you found all 5 bottles.

Immediately from the entrance to the right, play with time a little there, wait until Frank on the left leaves, and Mr. himself. Jefferson will turn away from us. One is near the school bus, it's almost in the middle. Another one near the exit. If you go to the bench, you need to turn back, she stands there.
