We had a quest in XI that basically had you running around taking Polaroid-style photos in Aht Urghan. Disregarding Garlean tech, XIV and XI have similar tech levels. Reading up on RL photography, we've had pinhole cameras in China since 4 BCE, although these did not take permanent pictures. And using techniques/concepts from The Book of Optics combined with materials discovered/observed about two hundred years later, photography has actually been possible since Medieval times.
Sooo... yeah. Take one philosopher, one mathematician, and one alchemist, add one pinhole camera. Pour in silver nitrate, shake, and expose to sunlight. No Garlean tech needed!
