in your photos. Image drawing some tic tac toe lines in your viewfinder. Where they intersect (my X) are the better places to put your subject of interest into the frame.Never dead center!!!See my X's,the intersect lines occur at 4 points ie verticle or horizonal ,see my example of singer Celine.Just move your camera around, until subject is in a better position around that imaginary X mark and take the shot.
These are not my rules but handed down from the early Greeks.Along with S curves,L shape, triangles,and my favorite diagonal lines, make good rules of composition.Remember they are only rules,thus they can be broken on occasions.
