Lindsey with the editorial beauty shot and Chris with the story telling both won their own respective categories.

Now this is how you do a 1 vs 1. Such a beautiful difference in approach and their results. I love them both and each of them are inspirational, you both make it tough to choose! The gel approach on Lindsay’s photo is so beautiful and that Cinematic look on Chris’ photo caught me off guard, whoa! Showcase more photos of this shoot please! 🙌🏾‼️😃

Both these images are representative of your styles and are excellent. The narrative element in Chris’ image takes the win for me.

For me, the image I truly feel more draw to, is Chris image. I am a theatre and portrait photographer who is drawn to the world of story-telling and cinema and with the colours, and the gentlemen behind the lady, I feel so-thing is going to happen and we as a audience are witnessing the story coming alive. Thank you both and once again this is why I love Profoto

@jerrym8140 Жыл бұрын

Absolutely amazing and beautiful results by both artist! One couldn’t go wrong with either photographer as it really does just depend on what the purpose of the end result is for. If I’m going for that pink ish color as the main concept I’m not sure if many do it better than Lindsay with her style of layering and matching same color over nearly the same color there for creating a colorful monochromatic color scheme. But Chris absolutely nailed his cinematic magenta and blue look while creatively only using one “real” light source. I loved its vibe and if I were to pick… I would go with Chris on the 1 on 1 but I didn’t wanna choose.

It’s genius How he made three colours cyan blue and red just with one light and it’s a real world scenario even though it is stretched it is believable. There is also a different tension between the male Photographer and the female model.

WOW! How could one image be better than the other...? They're all equally amazing! I know that these new sensors are incredible for low light situations/dual iso capabilities and all however, I wish they would share with us at the very least just how far they pushed noise reduction in post. Were they in the upper stratosphere of High ISO's?

I have a question in regards to Chris’ white balance adjustment. Was this on camera or in capture one or does that matter? Thank you. Great shots. Congratulations to both.

@ChrisKnightPhoto Жыл бұрын

I was tethering to Capture One and I made the adjustments there so it would be changed as they came into the computer. As long as you shoot raw, you can easily change it later, but doing it while tethered makes sure the color balance between the gel and environment is “correct.” In this case making the blue gelled light on the subject look mostly neutral, and the daylight room lights look magenta.

I love Chris's shot - complex drama - but - kind of 'cheating' since a big part of the image is the background which uses several more lights - turn those off and the image looses a lot of its' complex atmospheric/environmental vibe...
