• Didalam fotografi, pencahayaan adalah elemen yang
paling penting (essential). Tanpa cahaya, maka
fotografi tidak akan pernah terjadi.
• Cahaya yang keluar dari sumber cahaya akan
memberikan kualitas. Secara teori dikatakan bahwa
semakin kecil area yang mengeluarkan cahaya dari
sumber cahaya maka semakin keras cahaya yang keluar.
• Semakin besar area yang mengeluarkan cahaya dari
sumber cahaya maka semakin lembut cahaya yang
keluar. Dari teori tersebut maka kualitas cahaya terbagi
menjadi dua bagian: hard light dan soft light.
