How to make a shooting light source?

Actually, soft light is very simple. First of all, we should know that the softness of light is not directly related to the intensity of light. Secondly, the softness of light is directly related to the ratio of light source to illuminated subject. The simple point is that the larger the area of the light source relative to the irradiated object, the softer the light will be; If the area of the light source is smaller relative to the illuminated object, the light will be stronger. If you want to get a relatively soft light source, you only need some simple means or equipment. For example, by adjusting the angle of the flash and hitting the light on the wall or ceiling, a soft light source is realized. Secondly, reflector, soft umbrella and soft box can be used to increase the light source area, so as to obtain softer light.
