For this subject: Leave white paper showing. Watercolour that fills the frame edge-to-edge stops looking like watercolour.
  • Ask for pigment blooming into wet paper and visible paper tooth — clean gradients read as digital.
  • 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.
