Rule of Thirds

Rule of thirds compositions split the frame into a 3x3 grid and place the subject along those lines or at their intersections, usually pulling it off dead center. In these AI-generated images you'll see horizons pinned to the top or bottom third, faces or focal objects sitting at a crossing point, and negative space doing real work instead of just filling gaps. It's a fast way to get a photo that reads as intentional rather than snapshot-y, which is why it shows up so often in prompts for landscapes, portraits, and product shots alike.
