Expose as you would for anything else: with a correct meter reading. If white or black dominates the frame, use a grey card or incident meter to determine exposure. Of if you know your camera and meter well, you can dial in some extra exposure via exposure comp. That's true when shooting any scene where ark or light tones tend to dominate. No need to lose detail in the dress or make the skin overly dark if you know what you're doing. > -- > J.C.
