Take a photo missions bugged?

[Valkol]

Got a mission to take a photo of someone, tracked them down and they answered the door. Confirmed they were the right person but it wont let me take a picture of them!

Everytime i 'shoot' my camera it just says i took a picture of the apartment or hallway. The person DOES get mad that i did it though and chase/shoot me.

I'm at a loss on what to do.... might just ditch the case

I was taking pictures that didnt count when I was putting the persons face in the viewfinder, but as the camera field is actually bigger than that I found what worked for me was pointing the viewfinder straight at the "interact here" box drawn around the persons middle.

I've never had a problem with it. You're probably shooting your camera too close.
You can also check the "connections" tab on the photo to see if the target's name appears in the photo.

I had a case like this and even though all connections showed up connecting to the person in question and verifying it was in fact them, when the case was handed in I failed the case. The game was not registering the picture had any connections even though they were attached to the picture when I checked. No matter how I take the photos this happens.

unpin what was the unknown citizen file that you get at job start, inspect the person and pin that file, all the connections will go to that instead. then you can select the photo you want to use using the resolve button. Ive noticed that in other missions , like arrests, ive had to get rid of the unknown citizen file before the case could resolve, even when the game fills in the name. i guess its because the profile is considered incomplete. hope this helps

It worked for me when I took the photo from farther away! Thanks so much.
