On a recent photography expedition trip to Ecuador we came across a sloth in the middle of the road. We passed by thinking it was an injured dog or other animal that had been hit. We saw it moving very slowly and assumed it was injured, so we turned around to see if we could help. Upon getting out of the vehicle to my amazement it was a sloth. Or in Spanish, an Oso Perezoso. We blocked off our lane of traffic with our car and then stood nearby the sloth waiting for him to cross. Standing nearby so it wouldn't get hit by the many cars that kept passing by, The sloth went back and forth for 45 minutes, on asphalt that was very hot. When it turned back around to go into the lane that we weren't blocking we had to intervene. As someone who's done a lot of wildlife photography I've been taught to let nature be, and to not interfere. I've also been taught on my many trips to Africa and other places that interacting and especially touching wild animals can have adverse consequences, so we waited for a long time hoping he would cross safely. When it became apparent that he would most certainly get hit if we didn't intervene. I gently picked him up and carried him to safety. He then quickly climbed up a tree to the highest point. It was beautiful. I hope you enjoyed the video that we filmed entirely with our cellphones as our gear was packed away. Thanks so much for watching. Go make the world a better place. www.jasonlanier.com Thanks! Jason #jasonlanier #wildlifeprotection #sloth

If you're looking for a way to make your shots look more organic. Looking for ways to tie your subject into the background so they belong there. This video is for you. www.jasonlanier.com/register Join me for an awesome shoot that we did in the beautiful little pueblo of Huigra, Ecuador with a stunning model named Vicky. It's the ultimate challenge to go into a random location and just make a shoot happen. And that's exactly what I do. I go into a place with a model or two and we just create shoots based on what we find as a backdrop and try to pair it with some clothes that they brought along for the expedition. One way to really tie all of that together is by using textures and props from the location itself, to help your subject BELONG to that space. It isn't always the easiest thing to do, but by adding these textures such as sand, dirt, peeled paint, etc to our subjects we create the illusion that they came from there. And that is critical to a composition. I hope it helps my friends. This was shot using the Rotolight Aeos 2 in flash mode. For more information about the light please visit: https://www.adorama.com/g/rotolight-aeos2?utm_source=rflaid912653 I appreciate all of you for watching. Your support is incredible and I couldn't do this without all of you. **LINKS TO SOCIAL MEDIA** Photographer: Jason Lanier *Website- www.jasonlanier.com *Podcast- www.jasonlanier.com/podcast *Instagram- www.instagram.com/jasonlanierphotography *Facebook- www.facebook.com/groups/jasonlanierworkshops *Twitter- www.twitter.com/jlanierphoto Model: Vicky *Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/volkanictribu Thanks!

Ever wonder how to stand out in a world full of photographers? It's TOUGH! With technology these days there are picture takes around every corner. So how do you stand out and make your work unique? You gotta do things that nobody else is willing to do...and you gotta do things that tell the story of who you are. www.jasonlanier.com/register I've been doing adventures as a photographer ever since I started 15 years ago. I've always wanted to experience the most this life on this planet had to offer. Deciding to shoot in adventurous situations, places and locations definitely makes what I do more complicated, expensive, time consuming than what I'd be doing if I did a conventional photography route. But I love it that way. And I wouldn't change it for anything in the world. There are lots of times when I'm physically miserable. Lots of gear breaking. Lots of frustration. And yes, lots of failure. But I also experience more once in a lifetime moments in a year...than many people do in a lifetime. And that's the trade off. You take all that hard stuff because the payoff is so incredible. This video showcases one of my recent photo adventures with a really talented model named Elley who's also a geologist. She took me to an abandoned mine in her side by side and we did a shoot where nobody has ever shot before. It was REALLY cold, sometimes unbearable, and the road to get there was crazy. But the images and most importantly the memories were something I'll never forget. I hope you like it. This also shows the shoot I did with her up there using the Rotolight Aeos 2. The model is the amazing @model.elleycat on Instagram. You can also check out her Youtube Channel by visiting the link below: https://www.youtube.com/c/ElleyCat #adventure #jasonlanierphotography #rotolight Thanks for watching my friends! Jason
