The direct hard light is less used to shoot food, but the soft light with certain directionality is used. The softness of soft light depends on the surface condition of food. If the surface of food is rough, soft light with slightly hard light should generally be used. If the surface of the food is smooth, it is necessary to use soft light with extremely soft light, so that the texture of the food can be best expressed. When lighting, we should pay attention to whether the brightness of the light is uniform, and make appropriate light supplement for the dark parts to avoid excessive contrast between light and shade. When it is necessary to outline the shape of the subject with profile light, the profile light should not be too strong, and a honeycomb should be installed in front of the floodlight to control the light field and not interfere with the main light.
