It does appear to be an overcast soft light day or the smog level is very high and this is causing a soft boxing light effect. Or do you mean he created an exposure to make it look like it was a softly lit day? Or do you mean he developed the film and made a print with a soft light effect to keep it open.? I'm just curious as how this could be done, because in many cases of outdoor sunshine days I'd like to have this kind of light effect, so if there's some kind of exposure method to cause this soft, no shadow openness I'd sure like to know how to achieve it.
