Photography and phone cameras, sentence 2

Good photos come more from knowing light and angles than from an expensive phone: move closer instead of zooming, put the light on people's faces, crouch to a child's or a pet's eye level, and try the rule of thirds instead of always aiming at the middle.

Who acts: Good photos, thirds · What happens: come, move, zoom, put, crouch, try · To what, where: knowing light, light, faces, rule, middle
