It's time for a photo showdown
Profoto beauty dish or octa softbox. Which of these two gladiators of light
will reign victorious
Okay, so we're trying out the Profoto beauty dish here which we have up there with the d2 strobes
So we're gonna try that out. We've got a model here. We've got a couple different background setups. So lets see what happens
So the beauty dish is gonna give you a little bit harsher light, but it's gonna give you really nice
Chiseled shadows, so we're gonna try that out. We also have a softbox
We have the 3 foot octa softbox, and we're gonna try that out, too
So kind of compare the difference between the beauty dish and the softbox. So, let's see
And now we're going to try out the soft boxes of the three-foot octa soft box so I'm gonna see what that looks like
In this photo we did a little something different
we actually bounced one of the strobes off of our cyc wall which created a large white reflection onto the talent and then we use a
Small tungsten light to really define a crisp shape of light on her eyes behind the model
We have a 2x3 softbox with some red gel on it to give a colorful edge light and spice up the shot a bit
So we're here with Mel Murray doing some glamour shots. We've done Wolverine. We're gonna do some post-apocalyptic type of stuff
I want it we did a shotgun. I want to use the crossbow
And some cat ears
Oh caution tape
Maybe caution tape and cat ears at the same time. Okay. Okay. I like it. It's a you know, and of course the crazy makeup
Hi, I'm Natalie pitcher and we're just here shooting for film Jam
We did some pose different lighting and playing around with some different settings and things and I did a posed cop shot
pretty badass looking
Also did nice little glamour shots as well
Yeah
Just turn out a softbox and a beauty dish and trying to see the difference between the two
to show off the difference between the two setups
We took two photos of Natalie using the same camera settings on the same backdrop the photo taken with the beauty dish has a more
Defined contrast and creates sharper shadows
The photo taken using the softbox is well softer and has less defined shadows creating a more even tone
As you can see both the beauty dish and the octa softbox can be used to create some really high-quality photos
Which one do you like better the more crisp shadows of the beauty dish or the soft more even light from the softbox?
