Direct lighting is a type of lighting that shines directly on an object, illuminating it fully with a bright light source. This type of lighting is often used for tasks that require high visibility or for highlighting the beauty of a particular object or space. Direct lighting can be harsh and create shadows.
Indirect lighting, on the other hand, is a type of lighting that illuminates a space or object by reflecting light off of other surfaces, creating a more diffused and subtle glow. The light source is typically hidden or placed to reflect off walls, ceilings or surfaces, providing a more gentle, ambient light. This type of lighting is often used to create a warm and inviting atmosphere in a room.
