So this achievement is not as daunting as you might initially think it is from the large amount of concept art in the extras menu. There are several things you must do in order to get concept art.
First, you have to beat the game. Beating every level nets you some artwork. This includes side missions, (some I know of for sure like the levels that you can replay, but dont really need to do, others like the races I'm not 100% sure)
Second, photograph every enemy. If you need to check which enemies you have photographed, you can filter your email so that you only see your bestiary related e-mails. You will be given a listing of enemies to photograph at the end of the game by Whitney, but incase you wanna do it as you go, here they are (Pulled exactly from the game. Yes, I know you can find these enemies elsewhere, but this is where the email says.)
Edit: According to input by members of the community, it seems that there are several enemies that are not required in order to earn this achievement. Thanks to everyone who has messaged me or commented to help figure this out. So far these are the enemies that dont have to be photographed for this achievement.
The Lizard
Seekers
Oscorp Snipers
Alistare's Exo Suit
Will update if anymore come to light.
OSCORP GUARDS:
Oscorp Guard - OSCORP BIOLOGICAL LABS
Oscorp Sergeant - OSCORP BIOLOGICAL LABS
Oscorp Containment Guard - OSCORP BIOLOGICAL LABS
Oscorp Colonel - OSCORP BIOLOGICAL LABS
Oscorp Sniper - MANHATTAN after visiting OSCORP ARCHIVES (note: there are a finite number of these in the city.)
INFECTED:
Infected Striker - WEST PUMPING STATION
Infected Heavy - WEST PUMPING STATION
SENTRIES:
Medical Sentry - OSCORP TOWER (White, no force field)
Combat Sentry - WEST PUMPING STATION/ OSCORP BIOLOGICAL LABS (Force Field)
Advanced Combat Sentry - OSCORP TOWER (Second time)
(Black laser shooting, electrocuting, self-destructing robots.)
THUGS:
Street Thug - ST. GABRIEL'S BANK
Street Slasher - ST. GABRIEL'S BANK
Mercenary - ST. GABRIEL'S BANK
Urban Commando -ST. GABRIEL'S BANK
Gatling Commando -ST. GABRIEL'S BANK
BOSSES:

Vermin - WEST PUMPING STATION
Scorpion - OSCORP TOWER (Second Time)
Iguana - TRAIN DOCKING STATION

Nattie - UNDERGROUND CITY
Pygos - UNDERGROUND CITY (Nattie's goons)
SEEKERS/HUNTERS
Seeker - MANHATTAN (If you're having trouble with this one because you killed all of the Seekers in Manhattan, you have two options: you can either start a new game and find a Seeker to take a picture of or find one that is in the level secret Oscorp Level 2- thanks for everyone that messaged me and commented or near the end of the game where you come out of the sewers and walk the street thanks to umainbearman for finding that one.)
Hunter - Hunter Fight #1
S-Bots
S-01 - OSCORP ROBOTIC FACILITY
S-02 - S-02 FIGHT
S-03 - OSCORP ROBOTIC FACILITY
MISC.
Alistare's Exo - S-03 FIGHT
Lizard - UNDERGROUND CITY (Cannot get during S-03 FIGHT)
I dont know why those aren't included as bosses, but they aren't.
Third, you have to photograph every photo op in each level where they are avaliable. Every other collectible achievement for this game (save the comics) has a good video guide that will walk you through them (and everything else) and since I was not the first person to post those videos as a solution, I don't want to post them here. Seems like I'd be ripping them off.
I do not believe you have to collect all the comic pages for this, since that only affects the digital comics you have unlocked and is not under concept art. You do not have to get every alternate costume or even any of them. I also do not believe you have to get all the other collectibles, but I cannot confirm this, as I had all others when I got my last picture. (If someone can confirm one way or the other, please leave a comment.) You also do not have to do any of the special achievements as they do not unlock concept art (ie. beating the S-01 w/o touching the ground, killing 1000 enemies etc.)
Questions, comments, suggestions, type them in. Thanks for reading.

Took all pictures for Miss Chang, don't remember doing one for a seeker nor do I remember one in a level. If there was that'd be awesome but looks like we'll have to do a new game for them. They are only listed as "Manhattan", they would have said otherwise were to look for them I'd think.
By RaajTM on 30 Jun 2012 20:16
Well I know that's how I did it, b/c I could never get the damned things in frame. I already said after checking through required photos that I was mistaken, so I think it was an early pic that I took thinking that it was one of the photos you needed to take. I have adjusted the guide accordingly. I will say this though, the email she sends you shows the location where they are most numerous. Since you run into enemies in other places and it doesn't say, it's possible that they just didn't list it.
By Aura of Heroism on 30 Jun 2012 20:36
Well I sort of take back my last post. I did the rest of the photographs and my achievement popped so I guess there was some area that had it or maybe it isn't even needed? I don't have Seeker listed as an email from the lady but everything else I do.
I guess to anyone that thinks they need a new game, be sure you have ALL photos before restarting. Not sure if Seeker is even required though.. Thanks for guide.
By RaajTM on 30 Jun 2012 20:59
Sorry for double post but, checked my game stats.. Achievement popped with 96% enemy types photographed. Don't know if that is useful or not. Also make sure you have different enemy types, gatling commandos look very similar to oscorp colonels, it was last one I needed inside the bank.
By RaajTM on 30 Jun 2012 21:03
Thanks for the info. If I can get a second person to confirm that I'll enter it into the guide. All I did was go down the list and check to see what enemy types I had by filtering the emails and checking the beastiary
By Aura of Heroism on 30 Jun 2012 22:50
Same here but there was no Seeker on my email list, awkward achievement if you ask me.
By RaajTM on 30 Jun 2012 23:12
A bit, if only because there's not set requirement telling you what all you need.
By Aura of Heroism on 01 Jul 2012 01:49
Apparently the Lizard is not required for this. I had every enemy photo but Lizard and Pygos; the achievement popped after getting Pygos. Just info in case someone is interested.
By heynongman329 on 03 Jul 2012 05:46
Hmm, it seems there are a few not required. Will have to update the guide. Thanks for the input guys.
By Aura of Heroism on 03 Jul 2012 07:46
Has to be when its got its body stationary n head searching for you. Don't think you can do this in second part of fight.
By Aura of Heroism on 04 Jul 2012 20:02
I did the S 02 as soon as the fight started, just zoomed in.
Also can confirm you don't need to photograph the seeker
By Darklights on 05 Jul 2012 12:03
Seeker is not required.
@TheIrishBeast: Load up the mission (S-02 fight). Once you have control of Spidey, use the camera. It is that easy.
And just so everyone knows, I got this achievement prior to taking a photo of the OSCORP SNIPER, so I do not believe this requires everyone listed.
By a Fi1thy Casual on 05 Jul 2012 17:31
I also was missing that particular concept art. Maybe alternate costume related. Not sure. I would say if you have gone through every side mission I would check your bestiary and compare it to the list above. Most people find that they are missing one random enemy.
By Aura of Heroism on 06 Jul 2012 03:25
No problem. I know this achievement can be a right pain in the ass, so whatever I can do to help out.
By Aura of Heroism on 06 Jul 2012 06:19
Does anybody know for certain if you need the oscorb snipers or not?
By banned pirate09 on 06 Jul 2012 11:48
It has been reported you do not. It is also in the solution. It makes sense b/c u don't need the seeker apparently n they are both the only enemies you can "miss"
By Aura of Heroism on 06 Jul 2012 21:11
if someone's still interested to find a seeker in the secret oscorp labor #2 there you can find a defect seeker on the bottom of the map :)
sry for my bad english ;)
By Baskerville115 on 09 Jul 2012 18:22
Thank you for finding that. If we can get a more precise location ill add it to the guide.
By Aura of Heroism on 09 Jul 2012 22:05
@ banned pirate09: The OSCORP Snipers are found randomly in the city during free roam. Check your stats screen and it will tell you how many sniper teams you have beaten - if it says 100% you are out of luck, but if it says anything less than that just swing around the city until they show up on your mini-map (red dots).
By a Fi1thy Casual on 12 Jul 2012 20:27
Looks like in the Character bios screen I'm missing the one right above Alistair Smythe and the one below Gwen Stacey any one want to lend a hand to what those 2 are? Also it looks like taking a pic of that seeker in oscorp lab #2 Baskerville115 mentioned helped. But it also shows 2 different kinds of hunters to photo.
By umainbearman on 16 Jul 2012 16:53
Two different kinds of hunters? I would help out, but I lent my copy to a friend to play.
By Aura of Heroism on 16 Jul 2012 17:55
Sorry its 2 hunters but they aren't different. I just got lucky started up the spider slayer mission and snapped a shot off. Right at the beginning of that mission is where I got it. Still missing those 2 character bios and 1 piece of concept art.
By umainbearman on 16 Jul 2012 18:07
Best I could say is check your bestiary on the in game email feature and compare it to the list and see what your missing. If I had the game right now I would help out, but like I said I let a friend borrow it so I cannot check on those bios for you.
By Aura of Heroism on 17 Jul 2012 03:35
please someone help me with this twe concept art: in the 8th row 2nd concept from left . and in the last row 1st concept in left.
and have another question: i'm trying to complete 100% the game for the bio between two spidermans. so do i need to collect all 700 comic pages again?
By Hamed3OOO on 17 Jul 2012 14:39
That 8th row pic is the one I'm missing too. The last row though consists of
1st - Street slasher which I believe it unlocked what I photographed him in the bank level. When you hear "I have to help that guard" you go in the room to help the guard there are 4 enemies in there. 2 slasher in the left side of the room. you should be able to stand in the doorway and get the pic.
2nd - Vermin. goto the vermin fight again and snap one off.
3rd - Nattie/pygos. You'll have to goto the under ground city. Some people have only been getting pics of Nattie and not the goons (Pygos).
By umainbearman on 17 Jul 2012 15:19
So does anyone know is this for the art gallery pictures or does it include the bios? The seekers only apper in the hunter bio and that is probably why people are getting this. That bio unlocks with one hunter and the seeker doesn't seem to have any art gallery work.
By Zombified on 21 Jul 2012 17:03
Art Gallery only. There are a lot of people, myself included, that have not even unlocked all bios, but still can get the achievement.
By Aura of Heroism on 21 Jul 2012 17:18
I found another place where you can get a pic of a seeker instead of going back to one of the side missions as mentioned above. When you have lost your powers and come out of the sewers to make your way to Conners lab. As you are funneled in the direction of your way point you'll go down an alley and have to take a sharp right. In the corner before taking that right is a seeker. Some of the Art gallery pics are tied to the character bios so when you unlock 1 you get the other, the hunters for instance. but if you want the 10% completion of the game, which unlocks the Black suit Spiderman character bio you need to collect everything, do all of the missions, get all of the snipers, ect.
By umainbearman on 23 Jul 2012 11:48
Just got it today last 2 I needed was the hunter and the seeker, the seeker is on the second secret lab as stated above ( when u load the lvl drop to the bottom onto the floor then run to the other side of the room, it's broken with electric sparks coming out. If u can't see it get the camera out move it around in that area and u will notice the corners go yellow then just zoom in ) the hunter is on lvl 5 ( hunter fight ) just after u start the lvl wait for the hunter to land on a building the quick get the camera and zoom in all green then snap ) I hope this helps out ?
By WheelieHamster on 24 Jul 2012 14:31
I need some help with this one... I tool a pic of every baddy.... and my % is stuck at 96... while looking at all the models I do have everyone however I am missing one art gallery if you count it is 15 down and then one to the right it's right next to the pic of the green tube where vermin is held at the beginning of the game.... anybody help me out...
By ComanderDrizzle on 25 Jul 2012 19:49
Have you already cross referenced you enemy emails with the database?
By Aura of Heroism on 25 Jul 2012 22:15
I can not take a picture of a hunter... No green, ever! What is going on??????????????????
By KING DAKE on 26 Jul 2012 00:48
i can't get to kill the last rooftop sniper team as the helicopters are just hovering over water, im on 96% for them, is any achievement linked to these snipers? i have tried reloading the game but they won't spawn.
By JPG30 on 27 Jul 2012 10:51
found the last team, they were in times square.
By JPG30 on 27 Jul 2012 12:06
Nope. No achievement for either 100% completion or finishing off sniper teams.
By Aura of Heroism on 27 Jul 2012 15:48
If you missed some enemies during your first play-through. Can you go back and replay the levels to take pictures of them ? or do I have to restart the entire game ?
By MeonOne on 08 Aug 2012 17:08
You can replay the levels.
By Aura of Heroism on 08 Aug 2012 23:54
Unlocked the achievement without having photographed Alistare's Exo.
By Pyro Fool on 14 Aug 2012 03:32
I think I missed to take a picture in one of the secret labs... I think I interacted with some machines and the event just ended and I appeared outside.
Does anyone has an idead about this? Are those 4 pictures needed for this achievement? cause if you use the "interact" option before taking the picture... oh oh...
By Ratgax on 11 Sep 2012 13:56
Well its a fairly simple matter to look over the listing for replaying levels to determine which lab you need to revisit. Not sure if they are required, but at least you will know you have them.
By Aura of Heroism on 11 Sep 2012 14:41
I'm also stuck, I've photographed every enemy type in the list and yet it's stuck on 96%. I'm missing only 1 piece of artwork, row 15 second image. Anyone know how to get this ?
By TiptopChrisy on 16 Jan 2013 13:19
Best I can suggest is what I tell everyone, go through you beastiary and look at what's there and compare it to the list. Most of the time that helps the people on here with that particular problem. If I still had the game I would be happy to post what the concept art is of, but sadly that is not an option for me.
By Aura of Heroism on 16 Jan 2013 17:57
Aura of Heroism..Why are you confusing people using stupid words like beastiary? It doesn't even say that word anywhere on the game.Why don't you just say to check your emails.The actual word you're trying to say is bestiary anyway.There is no word called beastiary.
By Angel Da Vinci on 28 Feb 2013 02:58
Imagine that... another ass on the internet that wants to piss and moan about spelling. Check your emails again. They can be seperated into categories, one is BESTIARY. Thanks for pointing out my spelling error and then being wrong about your other point.
By Aura of Heroism on 03 Mar 2013 05:18
The list was great. I was able to located which ones I still needed easily. Thanks!
By Arachnicide on 29 Mar 2013 04:31
No problem Arachnicide. Glad to help.
By Aura of Heroism on 29 Mar 2013 06:56
ok...question...I don't have the achievement yet it shows I have 100% "Enemy Types Photographed", I compared what I have in my EMAIL BESTIARY compared with the list, the only thing I see different is I have just "THUG" instead of "STREET THUG' located in the bank....odd...
By Warboy925 on 05 Apr 2014 19:44
Nevermind, I feel like an idiot, I forgot to do the last green camera "Photo Op", lol, got it now
By Warboy925 on 05 Apr 2014 19:49
"Seeker - MANHATTAN (If you're having trouble with this one, there is one you have to take a picture of in a level"
Which level because I killed all the ones in manhattan already =/
By BiLLzuMaNaTi on 30 Jun 2012 10:45
Sorry, I didn't remember when I wrote this and thought it was a picture you had to take. I was mistaken. I just spent about two hours trying to find it again, but cannot. I thought it was located in a sewer level, but couldn't locate it. I will be editing the guide. The only thing I can suggest is make sure you have everything else done and then start a new game. The concept art carries over so you should only have to snap a picture of that last enemy if that is all you need.
By Aura of Heroism on 30 Jun 2012 17:30
What about the 2 Pics in the character bios screen? At least then I would know what I should be looking for as far as what to take a pic of. Yes when you photo the seeker in the character bios screen it shows the seeker and then its flanked by 2 different kinds of hunters so I'm assuming you have to take pics of those to unlock the concept art.
By umainbearman on 16 Jul 2012 17:59
I found a vid that shows all the bios and one I was missing was the Lizard which I got. The one next to the regular spiderman is the Black Suit 2012 spiderman which you get for getting 100% game completion so its not a picture opp. The last art I'm missing is in the 8th row down second one in. Its beside the One with a hunter above Spideys head. If I knew what it was I might know how to clean this chievo up. If anyone can pull that up and let me know what it is I'd be grateful.
By umainbearman on 17 Jul 2012 13:48
Hi all. I took all pictures and i already have all success except this one. I verified the pictures list two times so i really took all of them. When i go on concept art i see that it miss two of them at line 20, slot 2 and 3 between scorpio and a train. Could someone help me ? Do u think it's a bug or i miss something else ? thx
