THE QUALITY OF LIGHT

• HARD LIGHT: It's a reseult of a point light source such as sun high in a cloudless sky or electronic flash. The shadows in a scene with hard light have sharp defined edges. Hard light is harsh and such can yield a dramatic effect.
• SOFT LIGHT: It's a light that is diffuse and is the result of a reflected or broad light source. The edges of shadows in a scene are softer, gradating from a dense center to a blurrier edge.
