Spend the Summer in Skagway with Jason Lanier
This summer, acclaimed photographer and filmmaker Jason Lanier is diving deep into life in Skagway, Alaska—a tiny, picturesque town nestled at the end of the Lynn Canal and surrounded by towering mountains. Known for its gold rush history and unique seasonal culture, Skagway transforms every summer into a vibrant hub full of people chasing adventure, community, and unforgettable experiences.
Jason is spending the summer capturing it all—through powerful imagery, intimate interviews, podcasts, and behind-the-scenes moments—for an upcoming documentary that explores what it's really like to live and work in one of the most remote, beautiful corners of the United States.
From dock workers to baristas, tour guides to park rangers, and everyone in between—this is your chance to be part of a story that’s never been told quite like this before.
What’s Happening:
📸 Unique photo shoots showcasing the people and places of Skagway
🎤 In-depth interviews capturing personal stories from seasonal workers and locals
🎙️ Podcasts with real conversations about life in the Last Frontier
🎬 Documentary filming throughout the summer season

Whether you’re a seasonal worker, long-time resident, or just passing through—your story matters.
