Overexposed In photography, exposure relates to the amount of light that was allowed to affect the image, either through the viewfinder of the camera, or in the darkroom during film development.
An overexposed image will have more light than average (generally considered too much, though some artists deliberately overexpose their images). Overexposure tends to make an image whiter, obscuring details in areas that were already well lit.
For example, if the subject is in front of a bright light, the background often must be overexposed in order for the subject's face to be visible.
