How to soften the light in portrait photography

Soft scattered light illumination can remove the deep and hard shadows on the subject's face and body, and make the light more uniform. It is the most important lighting method for portrait photographers. Light can be diffused by translucent materials (such as tracing paper) or other astigmatism materials (such as gauze), and then projected to the subject.
