has delivered some breathtaking visuals and cinematic storytelling to the fans. But while the Belle Époque-inspired visuals of the game beg immortalization, the interactive debut of

RPG has left many fans to wonder if there's a tool available to freeze the dreamlike vistas. Here is all you must know about Clair Obscur Expedition 33
Photo Mode
.
Is there a Photo Mode in Clair Obscur Expedition 33?
Sandfall Interactive, the small indie studio, prioritizes the core gameplay over the extra features like the Photo Mode. To craft the dynamic turn-based combat, dystopian narrative, and skill synergies of the game had already stretched the resources of the studio thin. Implementing the robust photo mode with the free camera control, UI toggles, and lighting tweaks would have demanded some significant development time, especially for the team that's juggling the technical demands of
Unreal Engine 5
.
The performance might even play the role. The lush environments of the game, covering floating cities and more, push the visual boundaries. The Photo Mode could strain the hardware and risk the frame drops during the intense combat sequences. This is why the stability of the debut title outweighed the game's screenshot potential.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Review – The French RPG That Might Break You (In the Best Way)
The art direction of Expedition 33 blends Baroque chiaroscuro with the avant-garde creature designs. It creates some scenes that are worthy of the gallery walls. Just imagine to capture the magic casting ethereal glows of Lune over the twisted Eiffel Tower ruins or anything similar.
If you were someone who was looking forward to the feature, for now, you must rely upon manual screenshots by pausing the cutscenes or having awkward angling of the camera in the middle of the combat while hiding HUD through pause menus or the external tools, especially available for PC.
Now, what's interesting is that Sandfall has not completely ruled out adding the photo mode later. As of now, the creativity of the community will highlight the artistic impact of the game, even if the capturing will need a bit of patience.
The absence of Photo Mode in Clair Obscur Expedition 33 stings, but it is a perfect trade-off for the polished combat and its performance. Whether or not Sandfall addresses the concern of the fans post-launch, the haunting beauty of the game ensures the players will find ways to immortalize the world with one screenshot, even if it's imperfect, at a time.

6 Real-Life Locations Around the World Where You Can Recreate Iconic Bollywood Movie Scenes
While planning a holiday, every person has their own checklist - some seek sunny beaches, others follow their friends' recommendations, and many keep an eye on budget-friendly destinations. But then there are the film-obsessed ones - the type who would book a ticket just because Ranbir Kapoor (or honestly, anyone from Bollywood) shot a scene there. If you love both movies and travel, this story is made for you. These destinations have featured in unforgettable Bollywood moments. Travel to these places with your friends and recreate those iconic scenes. You know you want to. Eiffel Tower, Paris - Queen No Bollywood-inspired travel list is complete without the Eiffel Tower - that iron-and-lights icon of Paris. In Queen, Kangana Ranaut's character, Rani, dreams of seeing the Eiffel Tower with her fiance;. But after he dumps her, she travels solo to Paris. At first, she avoids the Eiffel Tower altogether, the sight too painful to bear. But with the help of her new friend Vijaylakshmi (played by Lisa Haydon), she rediscovers the city and ends up visiting the Tower at night - this time, not heartbroken but empowered. If you are looking for a solo travel moment with cinematic drama, this one writes itself. Washington Square Park, New York - English Vinglish Sridevi's English Vinglish is full of moments that make you want to pause and reflect. The scene shot at Washington Square Park in Manhattan captures just that. Her character, Shashi, is travelling alone for the first time. She initially enjoys the park's buzz - street performers, music, life. But when she steps into a cafe; and fails to understand the fast-paced American English, she rushes out in tears. The moment is tender and raw, and Washington Square Park becomes the silent witness to her turning point. If you are in New York, walk through the park and feel the weight of that scene, especially if you have ever felt out of place in a new country. Sajjangarh Monsoon Palace, Udaipur - Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani Udaipur has played muse to many film directors, but it was Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani that made sunset-watching at Sajjangarh Monsoon Palace a millennial ritual. Ranbir Kapoor's Bunny and Deepika Padukone's Naina share one of their most heartwarming exchanges here. "Life mein kitna bhi try karlo Bunny, kuch na kuch toh miss hoga hi..." Naina says, as the golden sun sets behind them. Bunny listens, for once without interrupting, and something shifts between them. If you are headed to Udaipur, this is your cue to grab a sunset drink and quote lines from your favourite travel film. Bunol, Spain - Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara Spain. Friends. Tomatoes flying at your face. Need we say more? Bunol is home to the iconic Tomatina Festival, where Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara filmed its most colourful sequence. Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar and Abhay Deol are drenched in tomato pulp, laughing through a travel dream that feels both ridiculous and freeing. If you are planning a trip to Spain, time it around the last Wednesday of August and join the tomato madness. Just maybe carry an extra set of clothes. Hoboken Terminal, New Jersey - Kal Ho Naa Ho There are Bollywood scenes. And then there is that scene. Shah Rukh Khan's Aman runs to stop Preity Zinta's Naina from leaving, confesses his love- indirectly, of course - and everyone cries. This moment unfolds at Hoboken Terminal in New Jersey, with the Hudson River in the backdrop. Aman pretends to read Rohit's diary but ends up baring his own heart. The station, with its vintage architecture and waterfront views, is perfect for reliving one of Bollywood's most emotional confessions. Even if you are just there to catch a train, expect nostalgia to hit hard. King's Cross Station, London - Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge This one is for every Bollywood romantic who has ever quoted DDLJ without shame. At London's King's Cross Station, Raj (Shah Rukh Khan) sees Simran (Kajol) for the first time as she rushes to catch her train. It is not the mustard fields, but this scene sets their story in motion - with a missed connection, a helping hand, and a train that changes everything. This station is a pilgrimage spot for Bollywood fans. And yes, it is also where the Harry Potter gang caught the Hogwarts Express. Call it the ultimate crossover of desi meets global. Love These Locations? From Parisian nights to Udaipur sunsets, these are not just film locations - they are travel experiences wrapped in nostalgia.

Enchanteur's new ad celebrates the fragrance of bold femininity
HighlightsEnchanteur, a French-inspired fragrance brand from Wipro Yardley, has launched a new campaign for its perfumed body lotion, featuring a narrative of quiet strength and elegant resolve, created by the media-fluid agency Aha. The campaign showcases a woman who confidently steps into an MMA training arena, challenging stereotypes about female strength, culminating in her victory, symbolizing the enduring presence of the fragrance. The production involved a diverse global team, including a French director and a Canadian assistant director, and was filmed in Bangkok, emphasizing intentional storytelling that resonates emotionally and culturally. Enchanteur, the French-inspired fragrance from the house of Wipro Yardley has launched a new campaign for its perfumed body lotion , created by Aha, a media-fluid, business-first creative agency based in India and Dubai. The film tells a story of quiet strength and elegant resolve, qualities that define both the product and the woman it's made for. The story begins in an elevator. A woman dressed in soft pink enters, calm and composed, her fragrance gently filling the space. Beside her stands a man, sensing her presence without a word. As the doors open, she walks out, leaving behind a scarf, a quiet trace of who she is. Moments later, the scene shifts to an MMA training studio. The man is now in the arena, immersed in a high-adrenaline sparring session. He effortlessly takes down his opponent. The coach asks, 'Anyone else?' The woman steps forward. 'Me,' she says. The man glances at her, momentarily taken aback, not out of disrespect, but shaped by a familiar hesitation. It's a look that reflects how strength in women is often met with surprise, a quiet echo of the stereotypes still embedded in everyday moments. What follows is a sequence of strength and fluidity. She moves with precision, her energy focused and effortless. There's no hesitation, no need to prove anything. And then, in a final moment of clarity and control, she outmaneuvers her opponent and wins the bout. Her presence speaks louder than any celebration could. Throughout the choreography, a flowing scarf appears again, mirroring the way her fragrance moves with her. It's not just a detail. It's a reminder that her confidence lingers, long after she's left the room. 'With this campaign, we set out to create more than just a visual narrative. We wanted to build a character and a world that felt emotionally grounded and culturally resonant. The fragrance became our metaphor for presence. From scripting to set design to choreography, every frame was engineered to hold emotion, not just aesthetics. That is the kind of storytelling we believe in at Aha. It is intentional, human, and built to endure,' said Sushobhan Chowdhury, founder and creative strategist, Aha The campaign launched during Eid, introducing a new perfumed body lotion formulated for hot summer months. To realise the story, Aha auditioned over 40 women before casting the Italian-Brazilian lead who trained in MMA choreography to bring both physical authenticity and elegance to the screen. The production brought together a global team: a French director, Canadian assistant director, Bangkok-based director of photography and a cast from across Europe and the Middle East. Shot in Bangkok, the film's setting, a raw, open studio, allowed for every movement to take visual focus. The campaign is now live across television, streaming platforms, digital media, cinema halls and outdoor screens in the GCC. This campaign marks a confident new chapter for Enchanteur, celebrating presence, fragrance and the kind of power that makes an impression without ever raising its voice, the brand stated in a press note.
