 The photographer in this picture could have taken the light reading of the face because it seems to emphasize the mid tones. if this photo had not portrayed a fall sense I would have exposed it a bit more and used the light meter to focus on the warm tones rather than the shadows.

The photographer in this picture used the lights located behind the model to create a back light situation. They probably used a light meter to read the center of the model's face to get a happy medium between the highlights and the shadows. they also must have used a light coming from the right side because the model has shadows.
