Glossary Of Photography Terms

Hard Light Hard light refers to light that creates well-defined, strong shadows with sharp, distinct edges. It is typically produced by a small, intense light source positioned relatively close to the subject. Examples of hard light sources include direct sunlight on a clear day, spotlights, or flashlights. Hard light creates high contrast and emphasizes texture, form, and shape in the subject, making it ideal for creating dramatic and dynamic images.
However, hard light can also produce harsh shadows and unflattering lighting patterns, particularly in portrait photography. Photographers often use modifiers such as diffusers, reflectors, or softboxes to soften hard light and create more flattering and evenly illuminated portraits. |
