Photography, highlight level, dark details

We all see bright parts and dark parts in photographic works, but if the light is not handled properly, it is easy to cause the bright parts and too bright parts to have no sense of hierarchy, and the dark parts are too dark to see the details.

For example, the picture of a girl in a white skirt leaning against the window in the dark. If the fine flower on the skirt can't see the fine flower pattern or any details in the room at night, it means that the highlight of this photo is not clear and the details in the dark are not enough. In this photo, the white skirt naturally becomes a bright spot, while the background in the night becomes a dark part.

It is also easy to cause such a problem when we adjust the brightness/dislocation when processing photos in PHOTOSHOP. Obviously, if the contrast of a normally exposed photo is too high, it will also cause the highlights to lose their layering and the dark parts to lose their details.
