Using Off Camera Flash to Cause Cool Shadows

www.funphotoworkshops.com

This image was taken at my workshop in Miami earlier this month.  I placed my Nikon SB910 on the right and then using 2 Pocket Wizard TT5's with my Ray Flash I fired the flash against the model to cast her shadow on the wall to the left.  Hope you like it!

Camera settings: Nikon D800, 1/60 sec at f/4.0, 16mm at ISO 1600, flash fired.  Taken at 5:25pm on May 1, 2013 by Jason Lanier.

Landscapes with people in them

www.funphotoworkshops.com

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!

Miami Workshop at the Miami Marine Stadium

www.funphotoworkshops.com

This was such an AMAZING place to shoot!  The Miami Marine Stadium is a historic and now abandoned structure in Key Biscayne that has held presidential campaign speeches all the way to concerts and major sporting events.  It was hurt by Hurricane Andrew and hasn't opened up since.  We went in there and had an amazing shoot...and then got chased out by the cops.  

For this shot I used off camera flash triggered by my Pocket Wizards to add the needed fill light on the model.  Just had a great time and it was great to find a place like this one.  Thanks to everyone who came!

Camera settings: Nikon D800, 1/250 sec at f/4.0, 16mm at ISO 50, flash fired.  Taken at 5:24pm on April 30, 2013 by Jason Lanier.

I'll Chase You Down Until You Love...Paparazzi

www.funphotoworkshops.com

HAHA, we had such an amazing time at this place yesterday!  We did the group shots and the group wanted me to create a fun pose of them taking my picture.  I had the Lady Gaga song playing in my head the rest of the day...I just love my workshop attendees because they are such a blast.  We had such a great time yesterday.  This image was taken about 15 minutes  before the cops came...lol

Casting Call for models in Miami and Oklahoma!

 

Casting Call for my Miami and Oklahoma Workshops!  If you are interested in a FREE shoot from me this is your chance!  I'm looking for either female models by themselves or couples.  This is for my Miami workshop next week on April 30th and May 1st, and my Oklahoma workshop on May May 7th and 8th.  The following guidelines apply:
 
*You must be physically fit.  I have shoot concepts and possible wardrobe options that require fit people.  This doesn't mean emaciated.  I like shooting people who are just generally in pretty good shape.  If you have any questions about this just let me know in your email.
 
*18 years or older- I don't want to mess with stage parents and worry about shooting minors...sorry.  The only exception to this is when I do specific children workshops, and these two in particular are not children photography workshops.
 
*Time Flexibility- you must have open availability on the day(s) that you shoot with us.  This means you have to be available starting at 12pm and open to ending sometime between 7pm-midnight, my workshops are very flexible on when they end!  You DO NOT have to come to both days of the workshop, just let me know what days you can do.
 
This is a TF (Time For) shoot meaning you get FREE images from me in exchange for doing the shoot. There will be no financial compensation.
 
If you would like to be shot (with a camera) and you have some wardrobe options please email me with the following information:
 
*3 pics of yourself- head, body, and full length (camera phone is fine)
*Email me images of you wearing the wardrobe you intend on using for the shoot.
*Measurements- please provide your measurements and for ladies please provide your cup size (it matters for the wardrobe).
*Let me know if you plan on shooting by yourself or as a couple.
*Contact Information- please provide your email and phone number.
 
Thanks!
 
Jason
