New Pokémon Snap, due to arrive on Switch on the 30th April, is a lovely, relaxing photography simulator that's all about appreciating wildlife and nature. Right? WRONG. New Pokémon Snap is a game that you can win, and thanks to Nintendo of America's new information, we know how to do it. Start exercising your snapping fingers!

In #NewPokemonSnap, Professor Mirror will evaluate your photos based on your subjects’ poses, how large they appear, how directly they’re facing you, and where they fall in frame. With these photography tips in mind you’ll be well on your way to building your Photodex!
