This is MY Place....

www.funphotoworkshops.com

This was taken while I was out doing a workshop in North Carolina earlier this month.  We were granted the opportunity to shoot at Shadowhawk by the owner of the place who was very gracious.  It's an amazing little western town that he built all himself that patterned after many of the sets he worked on as a TV and film actor many years ago.  If you haven't been there you should definitely go...it's awesome!

Camera settings: Nikon D800, 1/320 sec at f/4.0, 16mm at ISO 80, flash did not fire.  Taken at 5:45pm on April 3, 2013 by Jason Lanier.

This is a bridal shot taken today at the wedding for Mitch and Cassandra, and I'm still at the wedding!  This image was taken inside the Bridal Suite at the Christmas House Inn and Gardens which is beautiful.  This is why you need a full frame camera with a wide angle lens for wedding photography.  It literally opens up the world for you!  Congrats to Mitch and Cassandra!!

Camera settings: Nikon D800, 1/100 sec at f/4.0, 16mm at ISO 2000, flash fired.  Taken at 5:45pm on April 26, 2013 by Jason Lanier.

Reflections of Love

www.jasonlanier.com

This image was taken at my wedding for April and Delano Howell in February at the Odyssey in Los Angeles, CA.  The trick to this shot was getting right underneath the bride and groom and shooting up video light to illuminate them.  The other hard part was keep myself and my camera out of the shot but we managed to pull it off.  Hope you like it!

Camera settings: Nikon D800, 1/100 sec at f/4.0, 16mm at ISO 1600, flash fired.  Taken t 9:48pm on February 15, 2013 by Jason Lanier.

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

Happily Ever After

www.jasonlanier.com

This image was taken at the wedding for April and Delano Howell at the Odyssey in Los Angeles, California.  This was just as the ceremony was ending and they were walking back towards me down the center aisle.  I always love to try and capture this moment because it's so powerful.  I love this couple and am so grateful I had the chance to capture their special day!

Camera settings: Nikon D700, 1/80 sec at f/5.6, 44mm at ISO 4000, flash fired.  Taken at 8:33pm on February 15, 2013 by Jason Lanier.
