i noticed that some of david alan harvey's (if you don't know him, check out his work at magnum! amazing!) photos contain very dark shadows, but they're not underexposed.
i read somewhere that his technique is to expose for highlights. how do you do this? i've never done any metering before. maybe i should have posted this in the beginner's section. lol.
here are some examples:
