hey Everyone :) here is the link to EXACT LIGHTING USED: kit.com/Sadowskaphoto/cheap-vs-expensive-kit
A lot of you seem to be missing a point of this video- the message of this video is that it doesn’t matter what you have- be it a strobe or an expensive light- you can use whatever you have to create and you shouldn’t let your equipment limit you. Not everyone is lucky enough to have amazing gear and I want them to know there is always a way. That’s it.
Anita amazing :)
Could you please let us know also what kind of lens did you use in this case? 35mm , 50mm 85mm ? or something else

Why is the 100mm macro the "best lens" for beauty work?
@@canonball1914 Most photographers use a either a 90, 100, 150, or 180 macro for beauty work. The *point* is detail.
@@canonball1914 You changed words which are very important in this discussion: we were both initially discussing "beauty work", which I believe we'll both agree is different from the category called portraiture.
But as far as portraiture goes, Peter Hurley, one of the world's best known portrait photographers, shot his work primarily on a medium format Hasselblad digital camera and a 120mm macro lens. Take a look at the majority of Martin Schoeller's work.
Yes, many photographers do not use a macro for portraiture, but there are many great photographers that do, and many more that use a macro lens for beauty.
Macro lenses allow you to focus closer, are usually made in a 'portrait' focal length, and have typically lower distortion than other lenses.
Now, if your subject doesn't have great skin, a macro lens wouldn't be ideal, but when you are shooting beauty work, you'd typically seek out a model with great skin.
I actually thoughg the inexpensive light yielded better results
I really don’t understand everyone in the comments lol. I love this video. I’m a beginner in photography and this video helped me a lot. If all you have a ring light, use a ring light! This video is supposed to show that you can work with what you have even if it’s a cheaper set up
Love the catch light in her eyes with the ring,light but over all the profoto photo's look so much better and the color looks more natural , keep them video's coming. Love your work Anita.
I used a 3 ring light setup and it worked out amazingly, the client was happy and the effects were spot on. All light sources can provide the results you need, cost play little part in that. The ring lights can do all you need in certain scenarios and for lower costs sure but there are times when only a strobe will do. They both have their places. A few ring lights can work magic for only a couple hundred dollars. Best to have both on-hand!
Thanks for uploading this; I'm learning a lot from your videos. In macro context, I gotta go with the strobe. But looking at 1:46 I'm going to go with the ring light--great image at 5% of the cost
Anita you killed this demo. I totally understand where you're coming with this. I feel this comparison was definitely worthwhile!
Love the results of the profoto . Using the modeling light really helps you see what you are getting.
Yes! Need a video on setting up for strobe light or a beginner video.. debating getting ring light now before I was going to get the strobe light
Both are beautiful. It’s all in what you prefer you end photo to look like. If I HAD to choose, I’d go with the one that looks most natural to what she looked like in person.
Take $40 flash and $10 umbrella, price difference will be twice as high, and nobody will tell the difference between results from these setups without pixel-peeping.
Now you are comparing oranges to apples...
These are amazing shots! I've been your subscriber from early on and must say - you've grown so much!
IMHO it doesn't look like you got the colour temperature correct for the ring light, as it still looks far cooler than the Profoto, which is quite warm. Looking at the direct comparison at 2:50 shows this perfectly. I'm sure that the comparison could have been much better if you'd checked the colour temperature and accuracy using something like a ColorChecker Passport. Each time I shoot fashion or models in the studio, I calibrate with one of these and it assures that I accurately record the colours of clothes, etc. which are often being shot for online shops. Therefore it minimises customer returns on the basis of the colour not being the same as the photo.
I started using my umbrella again for an indirect light but I find I'm getting uneven light..especially on a wide shot... shoul i bring the flash head closer to the umbrella or what..?
love your video as usual. Profoto is relieable, fitting a professional photographer. I just prefer the cheaper one because it's easier to set up and you can easy to know the effect.
Beautiful work as usual Anita
Ring light slayed
Really enjoyed this tutorial, Anita... I'm somewhere in between in terms of my photo budget and it's great to see a pro's take on this. You hear light is light so many times, but as a makeup artist, I know not all highlighters are the same and have always wondered if that's the case with photographic lighting. Thanks for explaining! Btw, may I know the color name for the seamless you were using in the video?
Great video !! just a quick question... what backdrop is this if you remember ? Looks like the Egg Nog Backdrop from savage.. am I correct ?
To keep iso low, use a real xenon tube ringlight strobe. PaulCbuff has one.
Loved the video❤️
Hi Anita, thank you so much, loved your video as usual, i was a bit confused when u talked about the kelvin, do you shoot raw and adjust in lightroom or you meant you adjust the kelvin in camera while shooting, and if the later don’t you think the former will work as well?
It is always best to get the kelvin right in camera(like everything else,) but if you are shooting RAW, then you can adjust it when editing.
I prefer the profoto image but I feel like if the photographer has good editing skills you could make the ring light look as warm and soft as the profoto image. The ring light looks much contrastier for some reason.I've shot with both too but don't remember my ring light shots looking so contrasty. Although I did a paid model test and she loved the ones with the ring light for her headshot. She was in her mid thirties and the ring light seamed like it did a fill thing that was flattering to an older model.
Great video Anita. I actually thinking to purchase ring light. I just started do portraits so hopefully it won't fail me 😁
Can anyone tell me the colour of the backdrop please?!
Wonder if getting two ring lights will help with getting more brightness
amazing photographs :)
Great job Anita, very interesting comparison are you foretelling a move tp Profotoi?
Great video! Just not sure how to deal with reflections of a ringlight in the eyes (except photoshop)! Ring reflections make people look a bit like robots! On Anita's photos in the video this problem is not much bothering, but usually these reflections are very upsetting. 😬
What is the name of the background color here, it is gorgous
Impressive how you were able to work with the ring light and get some nice shots, of course there’s no comparing to the quality of profoto pics but still better than I thought! I would love to see a similar comparison with affordable/midrange strobes (Paul c Buff Einstein for example) and the profoto light
Not a fair comparison. Would have been more of a fair test if you were shooting with a Profoto Ringflash vs the ringlight.
BarTabz no
Honestly , next time try to compare Godox vs Profoto ,both on beautydish or both on umbrella, then you will get the point of what is the difference ,from working in the studio i can tell you that there is no difference in a quality of light, the only difference between expensive and cheap is mainly power , build , speed, and consistency. And im not missing the point you are trying to tell in the coment i agree you can get exactly the same result with even 50$ strobe but there is some cases when you may need consistency or speed.
Podoba mi sie Twoja praca , sam kiedys fascynowalem sie ta sztuka .a teraz chce do tego wrocic tym razem profesjonalnie .Wszystkiego dobrego i milego wieczoru .
There is no reason such comparison. Better compare budget strobe Godox, quadralight or Fomei with amazing profoto
Hubert Wiśniewski you must be fun at parties
lmao wrecked
Light is light. What I learnt was to keep creating with whatever tools I have. Whether $2,000 or $100 I should still be able to CREATE it’s not really about how which tool performs against the other.
Phloshop LLC that’s exactly my point, thank you 💕
Profoto wins :)
You mean "angled light with more 3D" (a.k.a umbrella) wins against a flat, shadowless shiny light (ringlight)? Yes. But it's not Profoto, it's a different lighting technique that you could do with a 50$ speedlight and have the same result.....
You're right - it's not about the light source itself but about the modifier used.
Maybe should have titled it differently, you can totally buy a godox strobe and umbrella for about $120 dollars. Now that would have matched the titled.
2000dollar apple v 100dollar orange? I don't understand the comparison? Why not compare a strobe and a ring light of similar value? Or an expensive strobe and a cheap one?
Andy W the point is that it doesn’t matter what you got, a 2000 dollar Apple or 100dollar orange, you can make something tasty out of it either way ;) don’t let the gear limit you.
I prefer profoto lghting 😍
Comparing a huge umbrella flashlight to a LED ringlight? Seriously?
DER PRiNZ - Photography yep, so people can see that it doesn’t matter what equipment you got, but how you use it.
I get what you intend to say but anyway I think comparing a huge umbrella and a ringlight doesn´t make too much sense except you really want to show the differences between the the two in terms of how they work. If you intend to show people that price doesn´t really matter in many cases you should show them e.g. a 2000 $ softbox setup against a 200 $ setup. But of course that´s only my humble opinion ;-)
For someone like me, who is just starting out, this was a great video! This video allowed me to understand that the investment I was making in purchasing a more professional lighting is worth it. Thank you Anita! Love your work 😍
Hello
profoto won hands down.
I am not a fan of ringlights at all :\
It's the Ringlight, not the price of it...
I hope rookies wont believe this and go buy the over-priced profoto.. You can get the same results for a headshot with a godox flash in a 80cm softbox so thats $100 only.
I understand that you are a Godox fanboy, but that's not how it works. A softbox and a silver umbrella create completely different qualities of light.
As a rookie, please don't give other 'rookies' advice.
There arent any other qualities than soft and hard and everything in between, You dont know jack shit so pls.

"I hope rookies wont believe this and go buy the over-priced profoto.. You can get the same results for a headshot with a godox flash in a 80cm softbox so thats $100 only.
Is it the "same result" Godox fanboy? I'll stick with what I said, rookie.
Ll G - I’d love to see your portfolio with that attitude. Great photographers don’t put others down....
@@Mysticgemineye We are debating light attributes. If henkkaa88 had said use a large silver umbrella from Godox/Westcott/Elinchrom etc., I wouldn't have said a thing because henkkaa88 would likely have been correct. For example, It would be ridiculous on its face to say "I used a 7' deep silver para for this photo, but I can get the same with a 1'x3' stripbox. Compare apples to apples and oranges to oranges. If you are going to chose 2 different tools, as was done in this video, even if it was two Profoto items, It is two different qualities of light, and therefore you will end up with two different images. Period.
"There arent any other qualities than soft and hard and everything in between."
Even if you were to use two Profoto umbrellas of the same size at the same distance and angle, and the lights at the same power, the results would look different if one was silver and the other was white. If someone doesn't have the money to buy Profoto/Broncolor/Elinchrom etc., they should just say so, or just go about their way like everyone else and learn about photography from these videos and by going out and shooting.
both are really bad.
I'm sorry but the comparison is invalid.
Mohammed Alhaidan I’m sorry but the last I checked it was MY channel where I post videos FOR FREE so people can see what I do. If I want to post a comparison between a lamp post and a strobe I will. If you don’t like what you’re seeing here, feel free to just not watch.
