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! 🙌🏾‼️😃

Chris is the winner of this one, love that use of light and WB, just so creative

Both gorgeous! I especially love Chris' cinematic approach, genius!

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

Love Lindsay's work, but Chris (The Dark Knight) you killed it!!!! I'm totally going to have to try your set up!

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

he couldn't make the narrative element with adding more lights, so complete fail for me

Lindays definitely the winner hands down

Chris Knight’s night cinematic shots wins my vote. Sorry Lindsey but still love your work.

As usual, Lindsey have made such beautiful photos. But I really love the moody style of Chris. So for me, you're both winners in your styles ! ;-)

Bravo to Lindsay and Chris both did a fantasic JOB! Very Very Very Well done.

love both images. totally different artistic directions but lovely results

Both so very well done! For my part I prefer Chris Knight's approach as it tells a story while remaining commercial as well. Bravo to both!

"Everyone has different styles and it's what speaks to you". I think both are unique and have interesting approaches.Thank you for sharing.

Loved them both but Chris definitely cheated with the background lighting😂. Thx for all the tips. You both killed it!

The two styles are too different to pick one as my favourite.... I just can't choose. They are both pictures I would be extremely happy to take! 😍

They both have their merits. One, simple in execution, bold and powerful in results. The other, more complex and dynamic with equally powerful results. Wonderful work using lighting skills and talented crew and talent.

definitely a Win-Win! love them both!

Two different styles, this was epic battle between sorceress and rockstar. Love both! Greetings from UA

You are both amazing in your own styles !! Creative colorful bold and story teller cinematic !! Well done !!

Cinematic look speaks more to me

I love these two light geniuses. Fabulous 😍

2 different styles, both amazing!

Fantastic looks from both of you. Love your work.

Two great photographers I been following for a while. It hard to choose. I like both styles. Glad Chris is doing more videos when he not busy. Hope you bring him or her back again soon. I still do some photography for fun. I met some great people in photography industry. I want to thank Lindsay, Chris, and Prophoto for the video.

Love the one light challenge. Both great images and done in your iconic style. Chris's shot tells a story and really draws me in. .

Both great !! ❤

I loved BOTH! If you forced me to pick, I would slightly lean to Chris’ because of the depth of the image.

Both brilliant! Thanks for these explanations.

Je ne sais pas choisir, vous êtes tous mes préférés. 😅 chacun a fait du bon boulot dans son style. Merci à vous deux de m'avoir à nouveau inspiré.

i love both of your works and creativity...bravo!

Lindsey and Chris are very talented photographers always showing us how creative you can be with one modifier.

Both winners!!❤ Calling a tie.

Nice. Really love how different both approaches are. Both were great.

Sorry but you both are winners! Enjoyed both takes on the challenge and very different approaches to get viva magenta.

Dynamic Duo!!! Thanks a lot for the fun content!!

Absolutely amazing. Love both perspectives and approach, they both carry the same creative weight. I'm a little more biased to dark and moody though (God this is hard) but Chris that semi silhouetted look is fire, I LOVE IT! Lindsay I love you and what you do and you never disappoint. GREAT STUFF GUYS!!

Chris is the winner for this one.😀

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.

Simply amazing

WOW.... Chris Sir is assisting to Lindsay mam, & this is one of the most amazing thing I've ever seen. my favorite session was the 1st half from Lindsay mam... that part can used as a Beauty shoot, but Chrs sir session can be used for movie poster shoot as well. THANKS Love from India !!!

Great job the both of you.

Wow! both are stunning. Lindsay, I'm a big fan of your photos but I will vote for Chris only because he made it as a mystic story.

I'd love to vote to Chris because Chris makes me to expect some mysterious story at the scene :)

This is a great video. And seeing the two different styles, back to back is really helpful. It was clear early on due to excitement that Chris's style was more of my style. But learned something from the both of you! Thank you! )))

I think Lindsay was more to the spirit of the challenge but I like the story telling of Chris’s image. So because if that, I have to go with Chris. But if we base on the spirit of JUST 1 light, we’ll it’s Lindsay.

I love these two

Bravo Lindsay

I like both, but I like bold more, so... I'll go with Lindsay! Sorry Chris, both of you are incredible photographers.

You both are winners! Incredible shots but I will have to side with Chris on this challenge.

This would be great on shared E Commerce site selling clothing, social media, or cosmetics. Great job on the video.

I like both lightning 😍

Both approaches were very creative and produced excellent results. As with most artistic endeavors, these two approaches are not comparable so I am not choosing one over the other. I like them both and they tell different stories.

Hail Yeah I wake up to 10 degrees F and Viva Magenta!!!!!!! Viva Lindsay and Chris.

Huge Lindsay fan!! But I think Chris edged this one out! :D

Love that cinematic style (I'm a sucker for using smoke/haze)! I love images that tell a story, so Chris gets my vote on this one.

Lindsey for me with the beautiful portrait using the colored gel

I try to be creative and get best angle with photographing subjects. This is good refresher course if need ideas. Thanks.

It’s a tie bc both are outstanding!

Legends 🔥😍

This video is so inspiring. Very different directions. Both win for me ;) ❤

Me too going with Chris

Both very nice...but one light, plus a crew to pull it off:)

Lindsay technically won, she did only use one light BUT who cares…Chris’ image was masterfully done too. Both are excellent!

My favorite is the one with the color gels.

Lindsay fan all the way but I think Chris got this one. Both shots are beautiful! The cinematic look won me over.

I prefer Chris' shot as that's very much the kind of thing I am into, but both superb!

Hard to pick. I’m going to go with Chris on this one. I like the edgier look.

Chris definitely the best!

2 awesome photographers with crazy good skills/vision/execution!! I love both your styles so picking a “winner” is seriously tough🤔 seeing what Chris did with the 1 light and flag w/bounce back to subject was great💪🏼💪🏼! Lindsay throwing up a gel in front of the model for some extra color spice, W😍W! that is one i want to try out sometime 👌🏼 Im gonna give my vote to: 👉🏼 🥁drum roll🥁 ….. both get 🥇🏆🥇because you both taught & brought some new inspiration to us so i think we all one out on this challenge!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼thank you both!! 😃pls consider doing again sometime Love you guys 💕

Both are brilliant but drama is my thing so Chris smashed it out of the ball park.

Good!

I think Chris Knight won this one. It's far more interesting and I find myself spending more time looking at that photo.

Work so hard that the photographer you used to assist now assists you.

Both were awesome, tho I lean more toward the on-location shots as its what I prefer to shoot as well 😀

Love the way Chris has used the lights ..which flash light he is using in the back which some guy is holding ?

Chris all the way!

I like the image that Chris took better because it resembles what I am after in photography: storytelling

Meu voto vai para Lindsay ❤

I love to shoot on environments too

Lindsay! Very graphic

straight up Lisbeth Salander, nice work

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.

We had to play around with a couple different blues to find the right one. A bit of trial and error.

I love you both . But i am taking alder❤

I am a big Lindsay Adler fan but this time I have to go with Chris Knight.

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?

@@profoto Thank you so much,... this just made this shoot-out/vs so much more value added (for me that is) than I could have imagined. Thank you @profoto for creating such amazing content.

I prefer Lindsay's Sorry Chris I found the secondary light being held in the background too distracting.

They were both fab, but if I had to pick one, it would be Chris's. Why? 1) I'm a sucker for practically anything Cinematic & 2) It reminded me a bit of one of my favorite movies: Blade Runner. Sorry Lindsay.

100% Chris I love his style

Amazing work. But I would call Chris's set up 'one light ' for sure....

I prefer the first one. She was so creative with only one shot. She didn't use any practical light

One light challenge!!!! Lindsay won because she stuck to the brief 100. Chris ended up using 3 lighting sources. Lindsay is the winner

Both great shots but I’m going with Chris because it looks like it could-have been taken out on the streets sorry Lindsay

Lindsay I love your creativity, but I think Kris won this round!

As a photo I prefer Chris’. But he did use more than one light so he gets disqualified lol Lindsay wins by default

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...

Easily Chris. But technically he cheated. But not really…. Only studio lights count. I lean more towards cinematic. Both good though.

he missed the assignment

I'm sorry Chris failed the assignment. The Assignment was 1 light, 1 hard reflector, By using two other light sources and the blocker to create the image, it is a fail. Yes the outcome image is well styled, but you can not make that image with only 1 light, 1 hard reflector. It completely disregards the point of this exercise.
