- Light for tonal separation, not for colour — the background must differ in brightness from the subject.
- Keep one clear subject — editorial images fail when the frame is busy.
- Swap the lens to 50mm f/1.2 for a wider environmental version.
- Add "shot for a magazine cover, generous top margin" if you need space for a headline.
