One important thing to consider is the size of the Pokemon. When saying size, it means how much the Pokemon takes up on the photo. Utilizing the zoom feature in the camera can create that and take the maximum shape of the Pokemon.
Meanwhile, placement means that a Pokemon should be in the center of the shot and the star of the show. You will have to have a clear statement when taking a photograph in the "New Pokemon Snap."
The direction the Pokemon is facing is also essential. You will have to wait when the Pokemon faces the camera or take a picture with its back. Using Apples or other lures will also do the trick to make the Pokemon face your direction and interact with it.
Speaking of lures, the "New Pokemon Snap" has various lures you can use in the game to interact with Pokemons. Throwing Fluffruit at a Pokemon will make it mad, and taking a picture with that reaction will score players with two or three stars.
Meanwhile, throwing Illuma Orbs at some Pokemons will give them unique reactions to the lure, and by the time they react to it, you can take a picture with it and score a four-star photo.

In the end, it will come to your taste and how ypu want to capture the Pokemon. The "New Pokemon Snap" should be considered a relaxing game and not the other way around. But if you are concerned about getting a four-star picture, then following the steps above will certainly give them the advantage.
