\"softlight-portrait-2\"<\/a>In the studio there’s two types of light that photographers use to define their subject, hard light and soft light. Both have their place but usually in the studio\u00a0I use soft light when shooting portraits. Getting the light from your studio flash or speedlite can be done in several ways. You can use one light or multiple lights, a softbox or umbrella and in this video I look at them all.<\/p>\n

In total I cover seven questions you should know about soft light and how it’s different to hard light.<\/p>\n
