Atmospherics in photography refers to the elements and conditions in the environment that contribute to the mood, tone, and overall feeling of an image. These elements can transform an ordinary scene into something extraordinary, evoking emotions and enhancing the narrative of the photograph. In other words, looking for environmental elements to add emotional/ visual depth of the image. Here are examples of Atmospherics in photography include: Fog/Mist, Snow, Sunrise/sunset, Clouds, Reflections, Infrared, Long exposures, Silhouettes, Macro, Over exposures (Hi Key).
