Violet Blurr and Pixel Pizzaz, collectively known as the Snapshots, are female humans and students from Canterlot High School. They are unnamed in the films and animated shorts, but they are named in merchandise.
Development and design
On July 17, 2014, licensed-merchandise artist "PixelKitties" tweeted "Dear Princesses @MMeghanMcCarthy & @goldenrusset please let Pixel Pizzaz & her fabulous pigtails be in Rainbow Rocks! pic.twitter.com/t1cXsYDRhD"[1] and writer Meghan McCarthy replied "@pixelkitties @goldenrusset We'll see what we can do."[2]
In the DVD/Blu-ray audio commentary of My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks, Jayson Thiessen states "I like Photo Finish's bandmates as well", and Ishi Rudell expressed disappointment that "we never got to see the Photo Finish band [perform]. Would have liked to see what they came up with."

In the first round of the competition, they attempt to sabotage the Rainbooms by tripping up Rarity with magnets and marionette strings.
The Snapshots advance through the first round past the Diamond Dog boys but are defeated in the second round by the Dazzlings. They are last seen jeering the Rainbooms after they advance to the final round. During this, Violet Blurr holds a musical triangle and Pixel Pizzaz holds a pair of cymbals.

Merchandise
Equestria Girls dolls of Violet Blurr and Pixel Pizzaz, together with another such doll of human Photo Finish, have been displayed at the 2014 American International Toy Fair and released in a Toys "R" Us exclusive Ponymania "Photo Finish & the Snapshots" 3-pack, packaging of which names them with trademark symbol and gives them the description "They show off their rockin' style for the cameras!" Toysrus.com has used the misspelling "Pixel Pizzazz" on a listing of the 3-pack, and an Invodo video for them misidentifies the Snapshots as each other.[3]
