Let the person who is holding the camera or phone – to press the shutter release button more than one time (repeatedly). This will make you more able to get the perfect picture, instead of just choosing between 1 or 2 pictures.
2. Add movement

4. Take inspiration from others
Ask yourself: “Why do I like this picture?”
– “Is it the angle? The environment? The style? The background?”.
