Samyang at a product shoot.

[ariban]

A friend of mine was shooting products made of jute. At his invitation, I spent awhile with him. I tried my hand and it certainly takes more than gear. I made a thorough fool of myself....

Some shots.










All in all, it was fun shooting a pretty girl.

very nice shots, great model! #1+2+7 is especially great for the product, the others
accentuate more the (pretty) model than the product

[RSalles]

You made a nice series of photos, practice is everything in developing best skills and technique. Some shots can go straight to the magazine,

[]s,

Nice pics, my favourite is #7. As a product shot, #2 looks like the girl is afraid of the bag, if you don´t mind.

[ariban]

Klaus, Renato, Markku,

Thanks gentlemen. Yes in some shots I was looking at the model more. But since there was a pro to do the 'real' stuff, I thought I'd try to enjoy.

As I said, it is a demanding genre and will need loads of practice.

Thanks again for the very correct and incisive inputs and observations.

regards,

[56 DIN]

perfect product photographer? you are already a great portrait photographer - which is probably more fun
i like the whole series - btw it is the first time i saw a "jute cigarette" with filter

Lovely series! 2, 3 and 5 for me

[Attila]

Great success! Congrats Arijit!

[ariban]

Thanks everybody. It was fun as I said. Photographing people who are easy on the eye... what do I say..

No Jute ciggie that 56 DIN! :-O Young girls seem to smoke more than boys these days. poor things....

Excellent series Ariban. The second one to me has this amazing subject separation, it may not have the best expression but is my favorite! Apologies for a stupid question, but was this a Samyang 85/1.4?

[ariban]

Hi bhargav. Thanks for your inputs. yes the Samyang 85mm/1.4 it was.
