I tried to do this one by just riding out the two loops but that proved to be quite difficult. So I found an easy way to do it.
Steps:
1) Start the challenge
2) Immediately get off your board and take a few steps backwards
3) Set a new session marker down, while remaining off your board.
4) Start running forwards (run with the A button)
5) Jump on your board (Y) while running, you want to jump just before going down the initial slope for the challenge.
6) When you get to the flat spot just before the loop go into a manual.*
7) A normal manual is fairly easy to control and all you have to do is aim down the blue line and its cake.
*You should have enough speed from your run and the slope to easily make it out of the loops.
Why Manual? Its a trick that actually allows your character to stay at the same speed (or close to) even when he/she is supposed to be slowing down (ie: upside down).
Hope this helps!

I found this Photo Challenge to be quite difficult. You will mostly need patience and some skill.
My method was NOT to jump and just use RT to pump into the first Loop. Follow the Blue Line and stand up, then once you start to descend, quickly RT and pump again into the home stretch.
I found that if you hit the first Loop right you'll gain some good speed into the Second Loop, then you just need to slightly push right at the bottom so that you don't run into the Photographer.
Good luck.

Own It -
- Double Full Loop
From your spawn, just do 2 pushes. Don't pump out as you gain to much speed and cant turn in when trying to get the second loop.
Just try and follow the blue line as best you can, pump out and up each loop turn and hope you make it. You can also either just stant up right or hold RT or RT+LT to get better balance, but its up to you. It took me a fair few attemps, so good luck.
Kill It -
- Double Full Loop... in Fakie
Same as above, but from your spawn and the first pump turn into Fakie stance and go from there.

This challenge can be tricky and it may take you numerous tries. Try pushing (
or 
) 2 or 3 times and pump yourself (hit the right stick up before you jump) up the first loop and quickly steer yourself slightly to the left to avoid flying off after your first loop or lose control of your skater.
