The first photo is an example of shallow depth of field. The light in the photo is an example of soft light because the light is from the sun and focusing on the subject and it is not casting any shadow. The second photo is great depth of field. The example of light in this photo is also soft light because it too is not casting a shadow.

Both of these photos are taken with a single light source. Both use a studio light for the subject the first photo uses a bright light to focus on the subject. The second photo is casting a shadow so its hard light.

This photo is an example of soft light.The photo is taken outside in the sun , and the sun is considered to be soft light. Soft light refers to light that tends to "wrap" around objects, casting shadows with soft edges. The softness of the light depends mostly on the following two factors:Distance. The closer the light source, the softer .it becomes.Size of light source. The larger the source, the softer it becomes.

 Hard light is like the lighting used in studios.The bottom picture is an example of hard light because the photographer used studio lighting which is bright and gives off a shadow.The focused light will produce harder-edged shadows.
