写真が白トビ気味
From the references I've found on Google, I am guessing this means that the light is too bright, causing subjects to appear white. Is that correct? If so, is there a word for that in English?

overexposed or blown out
Photographers use "blown out" colloquially (I own 2 photo studios), but in a translation I would put it in quotes or use both blown out and overexposed. Your understanding of the term is exactly correct, when things are overexposed with digital cameras, anything "out of range" (on the bright side) of the digital sensor is rendered as white. My concern with using just blown out is that it may be considered slang.

I didn't get to finish my sentence!! Overexposed or "blown out". All the photographers I know understand that overexposed means blown out .

Also, I meant to say definitely NOT halation. Halation is when the edges are blurred or undefined because of too much light, but in digital, it is rare to see halation on anything unless it is white to begin with.

BTW, I like the "loss of detail in highlight area" by Tobe. Whenever we are trying to explain the effects of overexposure to new photographers, we use "loss of detail" to help them understand.

Last note, sorry! I haven't heard "whiteout" before, so I would avoid using it. HTH

highlights are blown out (to white) or loss of detail in the highlight area
I'm not sure if I can enter two target terms, but I think it depends on the tone of your article too.

Their translation of 白飛び is "highlight detail loss"
I've also heard/seen "blow out the highlights" and "clip the highlights". My photographer friend uses "blown out."

As with white balance adjustments, exposure adjustments performed as part of the raw conversion are relatively lossless (unless you clip highlights to white or shadows to black), ...
(Last paragraph of same section) Completely blown highlights are also beyond recovery,...

Because this image is overexposed, many of the bright highlights and brighter areas of the image have "blown out" to white.

Yes, I'd guess that your histogram might have shown a spike on the right side (highlights). So dialing in -0.5 to -1 stop of Exposure Compensation might help. Even so, as I mentioned in your gallery, if this is a RAW file, adjusting exposure in post-processing would help a bit too, if the hightlights aren't too blown out.

真っ黒なら、ヒストグラムの各色が左に寄ります。真っ白なら右に寄ります。黒つぶれ/白飛びしていない作品であれば、ヒストグラムは左端/右端までは寄り切りません。 この時、真っ黒であろうフレームは多くの作品で簡単に探し出せると思います
I also don't disagree with the usage of "whiteout" as Cinefil suggested.

whiteout of highlight portion
2.When you cannot determine the correct exposure
When it is difficult to determine the correct exposure for a picture, you may miss the opportunity to take a picture, or you may disturb the environment.
If you take an underexposed picture, you can still adjust the exposure during development. But, highlight portions may whiteout and there is nothing you can do.

白飛び is one of the results of overexposure（露出過多、露出オーバー）as I cited.
