Thus light becomes more directional, focused thus turning into hard light | Artificial light is also used in fashion and glamor photography where it has to be balanced with the naturally available light |
---|---|
Additionally as a corollary, as the distance between the light source and subject increases, the apparent size of the source decreases | The difference between the intensity of key light and fill light is calculated with respect to f-stops |
In a situation where the key light is absent and only a fill light is used, the portraits tend to appear flat.
This ratio means that the intensity of main light is 3 times the fill light | |

The Inverse Square Law comes in handy when adjusting the distance between the light and the subject | But varying the distance affects the quality of light too |
