Spanish term

luz cruda

Spanish to English Art/Literary Photography/Imaging (& Graphic Arts)
Context: Photography course.

Se utilizan varios términos diferentes para describir la iluminación: dura, **cruda**, suave, difusa, plana etc.

I thought of **raw light**, but sounds too much literal and couldn't find any reference in the Net yet.

Thanks!!

harsh, natural, soft, ... Natural light directly from nature.
valeria ricca (asker) Apr 27, 2009:
Crudo and/or duro Sorry but I quite don't get if I should use "harsh" for both terms: dura y cruda, eliminating in the list one of the two for being synonyms. Thus the resulting list being: "harsh, soft, diffuse, flat,etc."
Laurie Price Apr 27, 2009:
natural I was looking at the proposed solutions and the word "cruda" and it seemed logical that it could be "natural" -- without any aids -- therefore, "raw" --

hope this works for you
Michael Powers (PhD) Apr 27, 2009:
duro You are right, Valeria. "duro" means "harsh" with lighting as specified in the Oxford Dictoinary.
valeria ricca (asker) Apr 27, 2009:
harsh light/lighting Thanks Lisa and Mike, but isn't harsh a synomym of hard, which is another type in the list?

natural lighting

Es posible que sea "natural" ya que una de las acepciones de "crudo" es "natural".

Mike :)

The edge marks the transition from highlight to the shadow. If the shadow has a sharp edge, the light is harsh. Now think of shadows cast on a sunny day. They are very defined. The earlier photographs of Marie as seen in Figures 4.4 and 4.6 are made with **harsh light**. The edges of the shadows cast by her nose and chin are very sharp.

Glare from **bare light** sources are both easy to see and to avoid. Other sources of glare may not be obvious until lighting schemes are completed

Basically, all your light needs to be either diffused (shoot-through brolly, softbox, diffuser), or else bounced (reflective brolly, white card, reflector, walls/ceiling). I can't think of a situation where you would ever use **bare light** on the subject.
