We just talked about soft light. And now we're going to talk about hard light. Now Hard Light is the exact opposite Hard Light, this is the light that you will see coming from like a flashlight. Now, the light source in the flashlight is very small. So when you, you know, shoot the light rays from this tiny light source, and it's pointing in one direction, you're going to get this really hard effect. And you would have really high highlights, but you have really dark shallow shadow shadows as well.

Now if you're outside things might be a little bit different because you got the basic diffusion, and you might just need this hard light just to, you know, bring out a couple features or to you know, bring in some more shadows and in certain areas that you're not really getting from just the standard setup that you have that's already there. So if you want to get like a dark side of the face, so you might want to, you know, light one side and keep on another side. Really Dark and get a like a horror type vibe, then you can achieve this using Hard Light. It all depends on what you're trying to do. So the best way to remember this is that hard light comes from a small light source. And then the opposite is soft light.

And we talked about that in the last lesson. So that just about covers Hard Light. Now let's move on to the next lesson.
