Hard Light vs Soft Light

In flash photography, both hard and soft light offer unique aesthetic benefits without one being better than the other. Hard light yields crisp shadows and striking contrasts, whereas soft light provides a gentle, flattering touch.

Regardless of your preference for dramatic shadows or soft illumination, MagMod has the right modifier to perfectly match your creative vision.
