 Composition helps make the picture look nice by adding interesting things in the right spots and tells a good story with the photo. Cropping removes extra parts you don’t need, focuses on what’s important in the picture, and makes the picture clearer and better. Storage keeps your pictures safe and easy to find by using good storage like a computer or cloud, and prevents losing your pictures by saving them well.

For example, I learned how to take pictures that tell a story or capture the feeling of the moment.
