Free photography tip: Place the subject on an intersection (step 2 of 14 from "Phone Photography That Looks Intentional").
Take your phone outside and photograph a single object — a post, a person, a tree. Place the subject where two grid lines cross, not dead center. Take the same shot centered, then on the left third, then the right third.
Compare the three. The off-center versions almost always feel more dynamic because they leave room for the eye to travel. This is the simplest composition upgrade you'll ever make.
