Overexposed Photo Fix

Recover the blown-out highlights in this uploaded photo. Pull detail back into the overexposed areas — the sky, the skin, any white clothing — until texture and colour return where the image had gone flat white. Rebalance the overall exposure so the midtones sit naturally and the shadows keep their depth.

Keep the subject's identity, pose, framing and the direction of the light exactly as they are. This is an exposure correction, not a relight and not a recomposition. Preserve the existing grain and skin texture — do not smooth skin, do not add plastic sheen, do not introduce HDR halos or grey flatness around recovered edges.

The final result should look like the same photo taken with the exposure set correctly in the first place.
