Angel in the Alley by Jason Lanier

This image was taken during my Chicago workshop in September 2012 with the beautiful Tyler Vines as our model.  We did this shoot at 1AM in an alleyway in Chicago....we were exhausted but definitely wanted to nail this shoot before we finished.  This was shot using a video light for front light and a triggered flash from behind.  Thanks again to my wonderful group for joining me on this adventure!

Bodelwyddan Castle, Wales United Kingdom

This image was taken during the couple shoot for Seth and Yvonne the day after the wedding.  We went to the Bodelwyddan Castle in Wales which is about 1.5 hours from Liverpool.  It was a stormy day but it cleared just enough for us to get this shoot done outside.  Hope you like it!

Split Tones at Niagara Falls

This image was taken at Niagara Falls during their light show which they do every night.  It's quite an amazing thing to witness and if you have the chance the go I highly recommend it.  The coloring in this image was all natural meaning it's what I saw, not enhanced in photoshop.  The hardest part was getting a shot without falling over the edge!

Lighted Staircases, Seth and Yvonne

This image was taken in the Hard Days Night Hotel in Liverpool, England for the wedding for Seth and Yvonne.  It was a beautiful wedding and we took this just after the ceremony during their wedding day couple shoot.  The lighting is natural except for a video light that I used to light them.  Hope you like it!

I Have A Dream, Inauguration day 2013

This image was taken from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial where Martin Luther King delivered his most famous speech in the very spot where the engraving you see here sits.  This was taken during President Barack Obama's second inauguration just before noon moments before he was sworn in.

Lincoln's Vista by Jason Lanier

This shot was taken last night on inauguration evening as the sunset was ending.  The coloring on the entire picture including the Washington Monument is completely unaltered.  The Washington Monument is golden because that was the last part of the sun that was shining through.  This was taken from the top center steps of the Lincoln Memorial and is exactly what Lincoln looks at every evening.  It was the most amazing sunset I've ever seen in Washington DC....

Official Inauguration Sunset by Jason Lanier

This image was taken on Sunday January 20, 2013 the official inauguration day for President Barack Obama.  The ceremony on Monday was a public inauguration, but the official one was the day before.  I came down the National Mall and saw the sun setting.  I walked down the hill and split the sun with this lone tree.  I just loved the shadows it cast and the simplicity of the image.

Inauguration Sunset at the Lincoln Memorial

Yesterday was an absolutely amazing sunset on the inauguration of President Barack Obama for his second term.  As the inaugural balls began, and most of the crowds dissipated, we were treated to a historic sunset in our nation's capital. This is a 4 shot panoramic of the Lincoln Memorial at sunset with my Nikon D800.

ABC News Interview at the Lincoln Memorial

This is a production still from my workshop yesterday in Washington DC at the Lincoln Memorial.  As we were shooting I was approached about giving my thoughts on various topics for ABC news.  It was a really fun experience, but I do wish ABC would have used better lighting so I wasn't squinting.  Leave it to me to critique ABC but they should have used a soft cutter so the glare sun wasn't so bright.  But, I was still excited to do the spot.  Today we have Mount Vernon, and then back to the Mall area for another great day!!

Liverpool Anglican Cathedral Wedding Shoot

This image was taken inside the Anglican Cathedral in Liverpool for my destination wedding with Seth and Yvonne in England.  We had an amazing time in the church, and the very kind folks that worked there were so accommodating with the shoot.  Can't wait to share more!

Waiting for her one true love, bridals by Jason Lanier at the Altenburg Castle Germany

This image was taken during my bridal shoot at the Altenburg Castle in Germany in late November 2012.  A wonderful layer of fog had rolled in which really helped to illuminate the castle late at night.  It was extremely cold but totally worth it! You need to always look for ways to use the elements and what you're given to your advantage.  Once I arrived at the castle and saw the fog, I wanted a darker more "Tim Burton" style type shoot, and the elements there helped me to make it happen!

Schwangau Fog, Meeting in the Middle by Jason Lanier

This image was taken during my excursion to Germany when I went to the shoot the Neushwanstein Castle.  Sometimes the weather doesn't cooperate with you like you want it to, but when you get a layer of fog like this you make the best of it rather than sit in your hotel room.  I came across this row of trees and just loved how they were faint in the fog, but visible enough to where they can still be seen.  Just loved being there!

Neushwanstein Castle in Schwangau Germany by Jason Lanier

This image was taken in the beautiful little town of Schwangau Germany where the historic Neushwanstein Castle sits high in the mountains.  It is truly a picturesque place and has a very non-tourist feel for such a big tourist attraction. Maybe that's because I was there in the winter time, but regardless it's absolutely breathtaking.  The hardest part for me was waiting through the rain, because it seemed to never stop.  When the sun did break I only had about a 2 hour window to get everything that I could.  I hope you like it!

English Hills- Trees near the Easby Abbey

This image was taken in Richmond, England right next to the Easby Abbey.  It was such a beautiful place and I was very fortunate that the rain broke and I got some cloud definition.  Hope you like it!

Jason Lanier shooting at the Eilean Donan Castle in Scotland

This is a production still of me shooting at the Eilean Donan Castle near the Isle of Skye in Scotland.  We are finishing up work on the new website and I can't wait to share it with all of you guys!!!

You're gonna want to hang this shot on your wall....

Ok, not the shot of me, but I can't wait to get done editing this image that I was taking of the sunrise in the highlands of Scotland at Glencoe.  This sunrise was truly epic.  I had the chance to speak to some locals, and even they said it was phenomenal.  This print (not the one of me shooting it, but the actual one I shot) will be available on my new landscape website which comes out very soon.  Can't wait!
