Deliberately choosing to over or underexpose can help create highly dramatic and eye-catching images.
In this style of photography, it is also good to experiment with exposure. Deliberately choosing to over or underexpose can help create highly dramatic and eye-catching images. Whenever you approach a scene, observe the lighting, and explore various levels of exposure to see which creates your desired effect. When shooting in conditions with limited lighting, avoid immediately trying to expose a subject properly. Instead, consider whether to deliberately underexpose the scene to create a unique, moody or dramatic look using the deep blacks produced by the shadows. Alternatively, you can overexpose the scene to accentuate the contrast of a photo.
