This Selfie Gets the Soft Light Just Right
The pores don't get smoothed away — it's the warm light wrapping around the face that does the work, and the balance lands just right.
✍️ Warm light wrapping the face doesn't mean the skin gets smoothed — the pores stay exactly where they are. What's soft is the light, not the skin, and those two things really shouldn't get mixed up.
