Angela Inside a Two Light Portrait / Teenager portrait

Soft light is created when a light source (sun, light bulb) becomes diffused.

Because diffused light renders people and objects in smooth tonal transitions, it works very well when taking portraits.

Soft light is often present indoors where the ambient light of the sky comes in through a room window.

Window lighting can make for great portraits, particularly when the walls are bright enough to reflect back into the subject for a fill light.
