Hard Light vs Soft Light Photography Lighting Techniques
WATCH UNTIL THE END for our votes on which we liked the best. In this how-to photography tutorial we explore the differences between hard light and soft light when it comes to studio lighting techniques. We are using the Westcott FJ200 and their Octa-Large Softbox along with their grid system to create a harder light. I love this lighting set up for studio work. Its cost effective and powerful enough to create stunning portraits no matter which you choose. Let us know below which creative lighting technique is your favorite.
