“The camera is an excuse to be someplace you otherwise don’t belong. It gives me both a point of connection and a point of separation.”
— Susan Meiselas
white balance in digital photography means adjusting colors so that the image looks more natural. We go through the process of adjusting colors to primarily get rid of color casts, in order to match the picture with what we saw when we took it. It is used to control how colors are captured in different types of light. White does not always appear true in different lighting, and ranges from cool (blue tint) to warm (orange tint) temperatures, measured in degrees. The key is reproducing colors in images as they were in real life.
