" I stumbled onto making pictures with a camera. "

Step-by-step explanation:

Figurative language is one that uses figures of language to express a non-literal sense of what is being said. In this house the phrase "I stumbled onto making pictures with a camera." Is the phrase that presents figurative language in this excerpt.

That's because when the character says he stumbled into "taking pictures with a camera" it does not mean that the character literally stumbled "into taking pictures with a camera," but that means the character did not plan that. The character entered this area accidentally and ended up enjoying it.
