The first angle is usually the angle from standing height. A stronger photograph often appears after one deliberate move.
Try this
1. Take the obvious photo first so you stop worrying about missing it.
2. Move lower and see whether the subject gains shape against the background.
3. Move higher when patterns or clutter become clearer from above.
4. Walk around the subject and watch how the light and background change.
5. Choose the angle that explains the moment, not only the strangest perspective.
What usually goes wrong
Do not tilt the phone simply to make an ordinary frame feel exciting. Avoid dangerous positions or blocking other people. A different angle should improve meaning or separation.
