Fashion Photography Lighting-The Effect Of Distance and Light Source

May 8th, 2009

➢ The closer your light modifier is to your model, the broader/softer your light will be. The farther away, the more direct/harsher your light will be. An umbrella will yield more contrast than a soft box.

    I guess the other thing to add about the SB vs umbrella comparison is that the umbrella splatters light all over the place….. while the SB is a little better in this respect, and the light fall off is more even… just my humble observation.
