How to unlock the TR3 Photo Finish achievement in Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Starring Lara Croft - Definitive Guide
Done in TR3 - Aldwych.
At the beginning of the stage, slide down, get out the water, up the stairs, follow on until you get to the ticket office and go past the booths.
You'll see escalators to the left and right. Go down the left set of escalators, and you should see a pile of mud and then the Aldwych platform (if you see a massive hole on the way to the platform that takes you to a tube line, you went down the wrong set of escalators). Save when you reach the platform, and enter photo mode to prepare if you're not familiar with what's coming up.
On the tube line itself, to the left are a couple of rats followed by tube death. To the right you'll see a door with a save crystal in it, and further along a door with a button in it. When approaching this area with Lara, a gang member (the Damned) will run out of the door with the save crystal and into the door with the button. The achievement is earned by getting to this room before the gang member does.
So, as Lara this time, head to the right and see where the tube line angles downwards (light a flair if necessary). From here, hold forwards for 9 steps, then immediately start sprinting, and make sure to turn into the doorway. It's not particularly difficult to do and the game is somewhat lenient as to whether you actually come in 1st place or not for my video I didn't technically come first and still unlocked it), but if you start sprinting too late, you'll miss the achievement.
If you managed to beat the gang member according to the game, then the achievement will unlock immediately.
While I cannot prove it, killing the gang member before he reaches the door should also unlock the achievement, though you'd need a rocket launcher or desert eagle to kill him fast enough.
Video below in case I suck at explaining.

I killed him with the rocket launcher before he entered the room, and the achievement popped for me when I entered the room after that. I did try doing it with the desert eagle, but it didn't pop for me even though I killed him before he entered the room. So maybe that method only works with the rocket launcher?

Based on someone else telling me they had trouble unlocking this, there's a chance that Update 2 might have made this achievement a little buggy to unlock.

LONDON - Aldwych
A little into the level you'll be in a room with 4 ticket booths, this is where eventually you'll use the penny to get the ticket. On the left side of the room there are 2 pathways down some escalators. You want to take the left side escalator, it's directly left and next to the glass ticket booth that you'll gain the maintenance key from.
Head down escalator where you should be greeted by a damned member that also house a secret straight ahead behind a shootable vent and some shotgun shells. Head towards the platform and look to the right along the tracks where there should be 2 rats roaming, just ahead along these tracks is where the achievement will take place.
As you move forward along these tracks a dammed member will run out of a door and ahead into the next doorway on the rightside as a train hurtles towards you. This is the "maintenence room" that you have to beat him too which is really just a short corridor with a single button in. I personally just sprint rolled with my rocket launcher equipped and blew him up before he reached the passageway and it unlocked once I got in. Hope this helps.
