The Power of Black and White Photography

Wanna know how to harness the power of black and white photography to tell better stories with your portraits? Looking for ways to better connect with the people you’re shooting? Watch the video below for a very special portrait session that Jason conducted with an old man named Wiley from Turkey Creek, Florida.

This video is about the power of black and white photography with portraits and how it has the ability to remove distractions and help you see right into the subject that you are capturing. Jason also discusses the power that photography has to help bring people together and how that is a critical trait for any successful photographer to develop.

Below are images taken at the shoot with the Sony 100mm STF G Master lens

Below are images that Jason took using the Sigma 20mm Art Lens

All images were taken using the Sony A9 with a 600 watt second monolight using a 48 inch octabox.

Finding Ways to Share More Content

As many of you may or may not know, Facebook only spreads your posts to 20% or less of your "fans"...meaning at any given time if you have 1,000 fans it's almost a guarantee that only 100-150 of your fans will see your post.  I find that pretty disheartening considering that us business owners work hard to publish content and to pay for advertising on Facebook.  So to make sure that we have other ways to make sure our work is available to be seen I have created some other accounts for your perusal and they will also all be updated daily:

*Flickr-/www.flickr.com/photos/jasonlanierphotography/

*New Blog on Wordpress- www.jasonlanierphotography.org

*Original Blog on Blogger- www.capturelifephoto.blogspot.com

*Twitter- jlanierphoto

I'm thinking of adding a Google+ Site but I haven't done too much homework on that just yet...

Thanks!

Jason
