The hardness or softness of light depends mostly on the following two factors: The distance between the light source and the subject: The closer the light source and subject are to each other, the softer the light becomes. The apparent size of the light source: The larger the light source appears, the softer the light becomes. The softness of a light can also be determined by the angle between the illuminated surface and the direction of the light source. The steeper this angle is, the softer the light
