WRITE UP:

While taking the photos, I realized that the direct light was more aesthetically pleasing and the diffused light had a lack of contrast that kind of washed everything out. Diffused light is more of a casual look, while hard light looks more like it's what some people desire in pictures of themselves- I could tell by the way my model reacted to the different photos. When doing the second part of the homework, I think that the light from the side did seem the most natural and realistic. I think it would be a good time to use direct light if you're taking a portrait of someone, and it would be a good time to used diffused light when your subject is too bright.
