The difference between hard light and soft light, soft light is scattered light and refracted light to shoot delicate things, so what is direct light and what light to shoot rough things with hard light?
Hard light is the light directly emitted by light sources, such as direct sunlight from natural light sources, spotlights from artificial light sources, floodlights, etc. This kind of light has clear directionality, high brightness and strong projection, and the light ratio contrast between the light receiving surface and the backlight surface of the subject is large. Hard light has a strong ability to shape the subject, and its reflection and light spot are also strong. It describes the rough texture better, but it is not good for delicate objects, but it shows a distinct shape in outlining and isolating the subject from the background.
Soft light is scattered light, uniform and soft, without obvious directionality, and the spot and projection are not clear. Diffuse soft light substances, such as translucent nylon cloth, sulfuric acid paper, etc.; Or the reflected scattered light is soft light. The soft light is delicate, the layering is rich, and the contrast between the bright and dark parts of the subject is small.
This is only theoretical. How to use light in practice depends on what kind of effect you want.
