Let’s talk about hard light-a misunderstood but incredibly powerful tool for photographers. In this video, I’m breaking down how to spot a hard light source and why those sharp shadows and punchy highlights can make or break your shots. From defining the T-zone to adding vibrance and depth to your subject, we’ll dive into everything you need to know to use hard light effectively in your studio work.
I’ll show you:
-How to identify hard light by shadow edges.
-Tricks to soften or control the intensity without losing that bold look.
-The exact setup I use for cosmetic campaigns to get those eye-popping
results.
