overexposing
Ruining film brightness
Overexposing is letting too much light reach film or a digital sensor, resulting in a washed-out image: The bright snow kept overexposing my shots.
Figuratively, overexposing means subjecting someone or something to excessive public attention: The campaign worried about overexposing their candidate before the election.
