the currency that buys you fame, frostbite, or both, depending on the photographer.
means The condition of being laid open to something — light, weather, risk, public attention, or a substance — without protection.
from From Latin 'exponere,' to put out or set forth, built from 'ex-' (out) plus 'ponere' (to place) — literally 'to place outward.' This passed through Latin 'expositus' and Old French into English, where 'expose' arrived in the 15th century and 'exposure' followed as its noun. The original sense was simply 'laying open,' which is why a baby left out to die, a cliff face turned to the wind, a strip of film catching daylight, and a person whose secrets are made public all share the same word: each is something placed outside its shelter.
