This image was taken at the old Warner Theater in Morgantown, WV for my workshop there in April. We did a pin up style shoot, found some old ticket stubs, and put the beautiful Jennifer Blosser behind the counter. I wanted her to have a look like you'd see on someone's face who was bored of working at her job....and I believe she pulled it off. Fun times!
Camera settings: Nikon D800, 1/60 sec at f/4.0, 35mm at ISO 4000, flash did not fire. Taken at 4:34pm.

This is what happens when I'm setting up a group shot at my workshops...my attendees start screwing around! This was an amazing location that took some searching but was SO worth it. Thanks to all who came!!

This is a fun image taken at my workshop in Oklahoma just last week. Peggy was arranging the model and we caught a fun moment on camera. Thanks to Sidney for being such a great model. Thanks to everyone who came...:)

This image was taken at my workshop in Oklahoma of the beautiful bride Sidney White. Sidney's getting married in a couple months and came to the workshop with wedding photographer Peggy Hogan. I gotta say that I'd love to see her wedding because she is so beautiful and natural that she just gives you amazing shots.
We were going to use the reflectors for Day 2 but as you can see it was just too bright. The crazy thing is that after this portion of the shoot the storm came in so we switched to shooting with flash, off camera flash, and video lights. I told the group at the time that this was an example of just why you need to know how to shoot in all different types of scenarios...because you never know what the elements will throw at you.
DON'T BE A ONE-TRICK PONY....

This is the image I was capturing when the Police were called and harrassed me for trespassing. You gotta understand, there are no gates and this was only 5 feet from where my car was parked. I guess standing on grass is now an offense.
This is a shot of the Logan County Insane Asylum in Guthrie, Oklahoma. I was here scouting this place out for a possible Supernatural Shoot location. But we couldn't find anyone to contact for the place...pretty strange. It would've been a blast to shoot here!

It's all smiles whenever I break out the Rotolights at one of my workshops! This image was taken in Oklahoma just a few days ago during my workshop there. This was during Day 2 and the sun was starting to set which meant it was time ROTOLIGHT TIME!
Thanks to Peggy Hogan (in the left with the big smile) for recruiting me to come out there and helping to make it happen. I had a great time with you and it's so good to see that you did too....as well as all the others...you know I'll never forget off-roading in the minivan and Tasha's singing...what a workshop!!

People often comment on my photography and say that my shots are landscapes with people in them...and that's pretty true. Why? Because I started off shooting landscapes and learned the art of exposing for the elements and not the subject of the image. That's why my skies are so crisp, and everything is in proper exposure. It's not HDR.
This outstanding image taken by my workshop attendee Devon McManama exemplifies exactly what I teach at my workshops...making your shots dynamic the natural way, not through Photoshop tricks. This was at my Miami Workshop while we were out in the Everglades playing with the gators. Thanks Devon for such a great image!

This is still one of my favorite shoots ever and I can't thank the gorgeous Jasmine Cardon enough for doing such an amazing job. She modeled for me here and was one of my brides a year later when I shot her wedding....love when that happens...:)

The following Photography Podcast is a recording of the conversation held in the car while Jason Lanier was driving with his students from the hotel to their shoot location. Jason fielded questions regarding the start of his career, how to choose the right weddings to build a portfolio, and more! This is Part #1 of the conversation. Enjoy!

This image was taken at my workshop in Nevada earlier this month. I made arrangements with Lisa Taylor for her to bring her SS to our shoot and boy am I glad we did. This is a beautiful car and we had an amazing shoot with it. This is what it looked like before we got CRAZY and started posing with it, driving it, etc. Awesome shoot! Thanks Lisa for letting us use your Camaro!!

This image was taken at my meet up shoot in Las Vegas during WPPI! Virtually one of the only spots to shoot in Vegas without someone trying to kick you off the property is the skybridge that connects everything and that's because it's public land. I positioned the two beautiful models Bijou and Erin in front of the scrolling billboard and just waited for the right one to come through to be able to get the shot...oh, and I told the girls to fight. It was a great time and can't wait to do more!!!

As I'm working on the new workshops website, I came across this pic and wanted to share it again because it's still one of my all time favorites. This was shot on the Bonneville Salt Flats right after a rain storm and we had about 3 miles of 2-inch deep water...just amazing! Everything in this shot is real...just wanna set the record straight in case anyone thought otherwise....Thanks to the beautiful Jasmine Cardon for being a superb model...and later on became a Jason Lanier bride!

You could have seen this shoot in person if you would've attended my 2-day workshop in Vegas last week. This was a very rare glimpse into what a Grade A Professional Wedding/Fashion shoot looks like. This is why my workshops are different, you get to come and witness REAL shoots. I'll keep telling you all this but you won't really believe it until you come to one in person. What are you waiting for?
This is a production image of the shoot we did last night in Las Vegas which was FABULOUS! We asked a group of bikers if we could shoot on their Harley's and they were more than happy to oblige! It was a crazy shoot...can't wait to edit and post!

This image was taken during an actual workshop of mine last year in Morgantown, West Virginia. I wanted to post this because most of the times on other photography workshops the shoots aren't real, or usually aren't very good. My workshops are the real McCoy, which is why they WORK!
It's only $299 for 2 days of world class instruction! I can't wait to see you all in West Virginia!!
