Episode Overview:

In this week’s solo episode, Kevin tackles one of the most common challenges in photography: how to correctly expose a subject in front of a bright background, such as a child standing by a window. Kevin shares his 55+ years of expertise to break down this issue with actionable solutions for photographers of all levels.

Key Topics Discussed:

1.The Backlit Problem:

•Why cameras struggle to expose for both a bright background and a darker subject.

•Examples of challenging scenarios, from windows to caves.

2.Seven Solutions to Backlit Challenges:

Exposure Compensation: Adjust your camera’s settings to brighten your subject.

Spot Metering: Use precise metering to expose for your subject’s face.

Auto Exposure Lock (AEL): Lock exposure on your subject and recompose.

Reflectors: Bounce light onto your subject for natural illumination.

Using Flash: Balance natural light with flash, including on- and off-camera techniques.

HDR Photography: Merge multiple exposures to capture both highlights and shadows.

Photoshop Techniques: Combine two images to perfectly balance foreground and background.

3.Mirrorless Cameras: How their real-time exposure previews simplify manual adjustments.

Special Announcement:

Kevin introduces exciting updates to his Photography Masterclass, now celebrating its 10th intake. With enhanced creativity modules and a new focus on black-and-white photography, this one-year course is the ultimate journey for passionate photographers. Limited places are available—visit GoHSP.com for details.

Key Takeaway:

Mastering backlit photography is about prioritising your subject and making creative choices. Whether you use exposure compensation, flash, or post-processing, there’s a solution for every photographer.
