Soft Light Soft light refers to a type of illumination characterized by smooth, even, and diffused lighting without harsh shadows or distinct highlights. It is often achieved by using large light sources, such as softboxes, umbrellas, or cloudy skies, which scatter light rays and create gentle transitions between light and shadow. Soft light produces flattering portraits by minimizing skin imperfections and providing a natural, pleasing glow to the subject. It is commonly used in studio photography, portrait photography, and fashion photography to create a soft, romantic, or serene atmosphere. |
