1) Pre-requisites

To unlock the "Outside the Canvas, Inside the Lens," you must complete a few steps before heading into capturing different scenarios. To take a photo, you will require a Kamera. Hence, if you're a beginner player, look for a World Quest on Liyue Harbor called Snapshot. This will earn you the device required to take photos.
