常見錯誤

❌She is very photography-friendly.
✅She is very photogenic.
💡'photography-friendly' is not a natural English expression; use 'photogenic' instead.
❌He photographs nicely because he is photogenic-friendly.
✅He photographs nicely because he is photogenic.
💡drop '-friendly'; 'photogenic' already describes the quality.
