Jigar Shah - Portfolio Shoot

Jigar Shah - Portfolio Shoot, originally uploaded by Manas Saran.

One of the shots from Jigar Shah's photoshoot.
Did a professional portrait shoot for this upcoming model from Bangalore. He's a great model to work with and we all had a good time shooting this. Special thanks to Arpita who assisted me on this shoot.
It was a windy evening here in whitefield and she really had a tough time trying to prevent the lightstands from tipping over. Inspite of all her efforts one of the lightstands still managed to take a fall and I lost my white shoot-through umbrella :(
This was also the first shoot with my new Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM. This lens is absolutely stunning. Sharpness is beyond my expectations and I actually had to soften this shot to make it look natural :D

Strobist Info: One Vivitar 285HV with 1/2 CTO Gel Camera right at 1/4th power in a white shoot-through umbrella and another Vivitar 285HV with 1/4 CTB Gel Camera left slightly behind the subject shot bare at 1/4th power.

Lens - Canon 24-105mm f/4L IS USM

Did a small photoshoot with Arpita, at home on a lazy weekend. She had just changed her hairstyle and gladly agreed for the shoot. Also used this shot to practice some portrait retouching in photoshop.
