"I've traveled the world and seen many buildings both in ruin and restored....and when we let our history get wiped out, it's truly a travesty. Our old buildings are the only permanent reminder that life went on and existed before we did..." -This is a quote of mine from a discussion this morning about the Waldo Hotel where local politicians are using my images and videos that I've done there to make the case that something with this building needs to be done.... Camera settings: Nikon D800, 30 sec at f/4, 14mm ISO 320. Shot with my best friend Vanden King with the help of Emily Ferguson Brown and Michael Brown. #waldohotel #learnphotography #nikon #d800 #jasonlanier #jasonlanierphotography #sonyartisanofimagery #urbex #urbanexploring #abandoned #jjabandoned #clarksburg

High Production Value- this is a behind the scenes shot from an upcoming 5 minute solo shoot challenge where I used a decayed toilet paper roll as a stand to hold my A7Rii to film as a second camera for the shoot. These things really are FUN and challenging and I can't wait to share this one with you that features the beautiful @andreventurrr. Stay tuned!!! #jasonlanier #sonyalpha #sonyartisanofimagery #waldohotel #urbex #a7Rii (at The Waldo Hotel Preservation Society)

5 Minute Solo Shoot Challenge...new video series being launched TODAY on my Youtube Channel!! How does this series work? It's simple and here are the rules: *I have to do everything.....film it, shoot it, light it....EVERYTHING. No Assistants at ALL. The only help I receive is someone standing behind the camera that's recording to tell me when 5 minutes is UP! *The footage is uncut. You see everything unfold in 5 minutes of time. When I screw up, when I get impatient, everything. *If you wanna see me in my "not so cool" mode....this is the series for it. Being a perfectionist this series truly is pushing me....but...You Only Have One Chance To Get It Right....right? The video is already uploading to Youtube now. The internet connection is slow, but look for it to release later today. This picture is from my first episode with Alyssa OBrien....I can't wait for you guys to see it...:) Camera settings: Sony A9, 1/60 sec at f/1.4, 50mm at ISO 200. White reflector used. A BIG thanks to the folks for letting me into the Waldo Hotel to do this shoot! #jasonlanier #a9 #waldohotel #urbex #5minchallenge #jasonlanierphotography #westcott #sonyartisanofimagery #sonyalpha
