Expozál

Expozál is a term that can refer to several distinct concepts, primarily found in artistic and photographic contexts, as well as in more general discussions about exposure.

In photography and cinematography, expozál refers to the process of exposing a photosensitive medium, such as film or a digital sensor, to light. This exposure is a critical step in capturing an image, determining the overall brightness and tonal range. The duration of the exposure, along with the aperture of the lens and the sensitivity of the medium (ISO), collectively form the "exposure triangle," which controls the final look of the photograph. Incorrect expozál can lead to underexposed images (too dark) or overexposed images (too bright).

More broadly, expozál can be used to describe the act of revealing or making something visible. This can apply to artistic works where a particular element is brought to the forefront, or in a metaphorical sense, where a situation, idea, or emotion is exposed to public view or understanding. For instance, an artist might intentionally "expóz" a social issue through their work.

In some contexts, particularly in older or less common usage, "expozál" might also refer to a physical display or exhibition of items, akin to an exposition. However, this usage is less prevalent than its photographic and revelatory meanings.
