Let’s discover the shaping effect together.
The use of translucent materials that increase the illuminated area makes it possible to diffuse light from, for example, flashes or a direct tungsten source. In fact, in the absence of a defocusing mechanism, the light will be more intense in the centre and will fade quickly towards the edges (ES.1), generating a very dark shadow with a uniform and deep density not only in the part of the object not directly illuminated but also in the shadow cast by the object itself .\u00a0
The use of a sheet of translucent material placed in front of a lamp operates the diffusion by making the light beam wider.\u00a0\u00a0In this way, the diffuser becomes the light source.\u00a0\u00a0Since the light source is thus wider, a softening of the contours and density of the shadows is achieved (ES.2), but this will lead to a reduction in intensity proportional to the degree of diffusion achieved.If we then move the light source away from our diffuser, a further decrease in light intensity to extreme diffusion is generated (ES.3).<\/p>\n

Basically, the diffusion is controlled by three factors: By the transparency of the material used,\u00a0<\/span>the distance to the light source and the size of the diffuser in relation to the subject. <\/span>It is therefore important to assess the combination of the size of the subject, the size of the light source and the distance between them.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

One way to combine these three elements in one measure is to assess the perspective of the subject towards the light by carefully evaluating the size of the subject.\u00a0<\/span>As a general rule, the light source is said to be diffuse as long as it appears to be the same or larger than the subject.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Softening a hard light is a basic procedure in photography to soften shadows, increasing the uniformity of illumination making it suitable for most photographic uses.\n<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
