If the relationship between tones in the scene (or, more exactly, as captured by whatever your sensing apparatus is) is what you want in the final print, then you can "get it right in camera" by exposing properly.
If NOT, then you just can't. You have to make adjustments. At least a touch on the contrast slider, to move tones closer together or farther apart. HDR as she is done is really just a really clever contrast slider, after all.
And for reference, even PH Emerson, who was the single most rabid anti-post-processing photographer *ever* adjusted contrast in post. It was literally the only thing he felt was legit.
