LIGHT QUALITY: FLAT VS CONTRAST

Flat light has a shorter relationship between highlight and shadows. Imagine white and black objects against white. If the light is soft and diffused (flat) there will most likely not be a black shadow or a pure white highlight. Contrasty light has a more extreme range between shadow and highlight. The same subjects with hard light as the light source will probably have a pure black area in the shadows and a white highlight.
