Urban Exploration by Jason Lanier
Jason's love of Urban Exploration started when he began shooting models and brides in abandoned and deserted places early on in his career. Jason found it a challenge to show the juxtaposition between a beautiful model or bride against the harsh backdrop of an abandoned building. Shooting in these locations made Jason's love for these places grow and he quickly started his urban exploration exploits into some truly amazing places.
