Broad light sources give a softer light (The sun is big, but it s a narrow source of light. Clouds help to diffuse that light to make it softer)
Close light sources give a softer light (The farther away the light source is, the harsher the light)
Bounce light to make it softer (Aim a narrow light source, like a light bulb, at a wall. This will cause the light to spread out and become softer)
Light a subject to cause the background to be less distinct (Moving a light close to your subject will create a bigger separation between your subject and the background)
To emphasize texture, light from above, below, or the side (Lighting from the front will de-emphasize texture)
