While playing as Franklin, after completing the Strangers And Freaks mission with Beverly, you will receive a text from him saying he has signed you up for the Wildlife Photography Challenge.

The animals have to be centered in the frame and captured without any obstructions. Once the photo is taken, use the SEND PHOTO(S) option and email the photograph to the LS Tourist Board to complete the process.
The following email will be received by Franklin from the Tourism Board:
You've been nominated to take part in Southern San Andreas' premier amateur photography competition in the wildlife sector. You'll join hundreds of other young, talented hopefuls in getting heat stroke, poison ivy poisoning and, most importantly, giving your work away for free. For the first young photographer to document the whole array of Southern San Andreas' fauna - a life of underwater adventure and photography awaits.
Submissions are subject to the following rules:
(List of animals to be photographed is mentioned below with locations)
Make your own chum, fill your glands with mountain lion pheromones, rub yourself in honey, and jack off in a bear pit. Do whatever it takes to get the shot of your life. And try not to get eaten, unless you've uploaded first. We can't wait to see (and steal) all your submissions.
Good Luck
