This image was taken along a lone road in Scotland about 150 miles north of Edinburgh. Scotland is such an amazing place that I've decided that my next webinar series will be a tutorial on landscapes, as seen through my own journey through Scotland. Stay tuned for details.

This is a production still of me teaching one of the attendees how to shoot in manual at my meet up in Oceanside, CA yesterday. We literally had seasoned pros all the way to beginners and if you ask anyone there, everyone had a great time. Who says pros and newcomers can't co-exist? Next Meet Up is next Wednesday in Los Angeles for a model shoot! To see more images from the meet up or to register for a meet up or workshop, simply click on the website link below!

This image was taken yesterday at my wedding for Delano and April before the wedding. Our bride was getting her make up done, and I was setting up the room I captured this shot of the little flowergirl resting her head as she waited. This was shot with natural light coming in from the window and is completely unposed. Hope you like it!

This is a before and after of the wedding ring shot that I did at my wedding earlier this month in Los Angeles, California. It's really fun to see how different it looks in the camera versus how it was shot. Hope you like it!
Adobe Bridge is a very cool tool to use that is offered by Adobe and comes as part of a package when you buy Photoshop. I currently use the version CS6. Bridge is the best way for photographers to effectively move images around, rename them, and categorize them in volume. That's the whole basis of Bridge, batch processing. In the old days you'd use Bridge to run batch editing for you through Photoshop. You can still do that I assume but it's really a waste of time as you should be using Lightroom for batch editing.
Adobe refers to Bridge as Digital Asset Management Software. I mainly use Bridge for renaming my images, moving folders around, etc. at this point in time. It's invaluable to me in that regard and I really love the program...when it isn't crashing. Hope this helps!

This image was taken at my workshop in Chicago 10 days ago. The city center of Chicago has some amazing places to shoot. So we went there at night, I set up my flashes with pocket wizards, and started shooting. Thanks to Tyler Vines for being such an amazing model!
Camera settings: Nikon D800, 1/60 sec at f/4.0, 26mm at ISO 3200, flash fired. Taken at 9:59pm on September 19, 2012 by Jason Lanier.
I already shared the first picture from our shoot in an earlier blog post but these shots below are some more from our shoot on the couch. From a photographic standpoint I love putting a rectangular couch that has straight lines in it in front of a huge wilderness backdrop that has everything but straight lines. Then when you throw a bride on top of the couch and completely change the lines by the positioning her in all different ways it can complete the shot to give you something you'll love.
We actually shot video of this session and I've had a lot of people asking me to start putting out tutorials in the hopes it could help them. I've been shooting video on all of my shoots recently to start developing a library that we can turn into shooting tutorials and guides in the hope they can help others. I'll be shooting video while doing the shoots I have in Spain for this same reason. I hope you enjoy!
