This shot was taken to utilize both the lights and reflections to create an image that pops. Try manual exposure combined with spot metering to create images that do not look like the average shot.

A photographer should always be looking at the light, lines, reflections, and other items that help make an image pop rather than look like a snapshot. Try using spot metering rather than matrix metering and manual exposure to create a unique look.
