Telling a story with hard reflectors - Lindsay Adler vs Chris Knight

We asked Lindsay Adler and Chris Knight to create images representing this year’s Pantone Color of the Year, but with a twist: Use as many lights as you want, but only shape light with hard reflectors. These are the reflectors they used:

Chris' approach is ethereal. But both photographers show a very delicate sense of perfect lighting. The emotions are conveyed accurately and that is brilliantly done.

[@NoahStephens]

This series is all the more awesome because these two insanely talented photographers are a couple.

[@Elassyahmed]

Love Lindsay’s approach, but Chris’ neon noir style has a special place in my heart

[@darauz04]

So cool both shoots.

[@josephchan4198]

[@Neopulse00]

Both are worthy of being printed in magazines.

[@reneweisz9157]

There is only winning here. Two fantastic photographers sharing their knowledge.

[@Max160200]

Chris Knight without a doubt, excellent work! 👌

[@NiniRockX]

Chris Knight's 80's vibe really speaks to me. But I also love Lindays work.
Both are amazing photographers who do brilliant work !!

[@lesjoyeuxexplorateurs1179]

This time around, I declare a tie between you too! Most amazing work. Videography is top notch too!

[@MichaelMontgomerySr]

Lindsey, you're my girl but once again I'm loving Chris's style of shooting.🤩

[@Imhaydenh]

The way he looked at you 😮😊

[@karydealbavillasenor7567]

Love Lindsey Adler style

[@rapyuphotos]

CHRIS KNIGHT!!!

[@danbrowning2418]

I love both results but prefer Chris' if I have to pick one. His use of different colors of light adds dimension and intrigue to the end result. Lindsay's photo, though, showcases the color of the year so if that was the criteria, I'd chose her image for relevancy.

[@crissignori7482]

Both superb shots .... You both rock the house down with your work.... any workshops coming up?

[@Nicosalgadophotography]

Love it ❤

[@thomasriggs2914]

Lindsay - you had me until the shutter drag was added. Both excellent - my vote is for Chris' image. I can't stop looking at it.

[@ghairobin]

Chris Knight!

[@andyvan5692]
