Basically, it’s the skill of arranging items in a pleasing way. First, you’ll want to decide on a distance from your subject: the farther you are, the more of the surroundings will be included in your photo. Of course you can always crop later but don’t rely on this. Camera orientation and angle are also important. Experiment with tilting your phone or kneeling down to see how the composition changes in your viewfinder.
