Moundsville State Penitentiary
This image was taken at the Moundsville State Penitentiary in the famous Sugarshack where many not so great dealings took place. There is artwork over all the walls that was made by the inmates while they were there, which definitely gives it a spooky feel. Thanks to Debbie for bringing the wings!
Next Workshops:
- Myrtle Beach, SC- November 6-7

Camera settings: Nikon D800, 1/20 sec (handheld) at f/4.0, 32mm at ISO 5000, flash fired. Taken at 8:53pm on October 24, 2012 by Jason Lanier at the Moundsville State Penitentiary.
I'm re-posting this image because the first one I did while 35,000 feet in the air on my Delta Flight and it didn't post properly. So I wanted to re-post it so you didn't think that I am okay with errors in the image.
"This image was taken yesterday at my workshop at the world famous Moundsville State Penitentiary. It is known worldwide for being one of the bloodiest prisons and most haunted places on earth. While at the Penitentiary we were able to conduct a radio interview with PBS, and shoot two gorgeous models with the help of a great group of photographers
and a great tour guide named Ryan Britt.
I want to send out a sincere thanks to everyone that came and a special thanks to Vanden King and Faye Santos for helping make this a success. This image was shot with the help of two Pocket Wizards that fired my SB910 speedlight which was located in the cell to the left of the model Yvonne. I put my Ray flash attachment onto my speedlight so it would better disperse the light. I then used two flashlights (thanks to those that held them) with one light on the stripes on her dress from the left with the other on her face from the right. That's how we did it!"

This image was taken of me during the shoot last night at the Moundsville State Penitentiary last night! We had an angel outfit for the models and when it was time for the halo to come off the models head it went onto mine! Like so many times during my workshops things end up on my head and stay there for the duration of the shoot...like the 2 foot sunhat that I wore on the subway in New York. Nothing better than a little fun!
Last night I had the amazing opportunity to conduct a radio interview with PBS inside the Moundsville State Penitentiary. While out here doing the workshop they contacted me and asked if we could do an interview, and we ended up connecting at the Moundsville Penitentiary of all places! It was an awesome experience and I can't thank them enough for taking the time to interview me about photography, workshops, and where the industry is today! I always love doing things like this but I have to say that I've never done it in a place like the Moundsville State Penitentiary...AWESOME!
