Rule #2

In conjunction with Rule #1 - the larger your light source, the softer your light is Rule #2.

2-The closer your light source, the softer your light.

This works because as you bring your light source closer to your subject, it's going to get larger resulting in a softer light.

The first image's light source was about 8' away and the second image was just out of camera range.  One seems contrastier due to the difference between the fill and main but again, look at the edge shadows.  The one that is closer is softer than the one further away.

This one is further away






This one is closer





And she's happier because the light is softer... :-)
