Soft Shadow
Soft shadows are delicate, spread-out edges created by large-scale light sources or light modifiers. In e-commerce imagery they help products appear pristine and organic, especially against white backgrounds.
They are produced using large light sources or modifiers and are valued for creating a natural, low-contrast look in product photography.
Pro Tip
Use large light sources or light modifiers such as diffusers and softboxes to create soft, diffused shadow edges.
Use Cases
Used primarily in product and white-background photography to present items cleanly and naturally in digital commerce.
