Wanna see what's really happening at the border between the United States and Mexico? This is the trailer for my documentary on the Border Crisis in the Southern United States. This is about covering the issue from both sides, figuratively and physically. PLEASE SHARE THIS VIDEO. It Needs to be SEEN. I went to all 4 states that border Mexico covering thousands of miles between the border in San Diego all the way down the bottom tip of Texas south of Donna, Texas. I've interviewed both law enforcement and immigrants. I've walked along side them, laid down on the dirt with the babies that are crying or trying to sleep and I've spoken with the coyotes as they've dropped off load after load of humans over the Rio Grande. This documentary isn't about picking sides, it's about showing what's happening so hopefully we can all find a solution. For more information please visit: www.jasonlanier.com/openborder

Ever wonder if sensor size matters? If so, how? Depth of Field, Color, Bokeh, and Low Light Performance are all impacted by sensor size. Check out the video below to find out what you need to know! To see the images from this review for yourselves please visit: http://www.jasonlanier.com/blog/sensorsize Please thumbs up, share, drop a comment below and subscribe! In this review shot in the beautiful landscape of Alaska, Jason Lanier compares the Sony A6500 (Crop Sensor), Sony A7C (Full Frame) and the Fujifilm GFX 50R (Medium Format). He shoots the cameras using the same Full Frame equivalent of 50mm. Sensor size plays a bigger role than many photographers may know. Sensor size affects depth of field (blur and separation), bokeh (how large), colors and the low light performance of a camera. **Links to Gear- *Sony A6500- https://bhpho.to/2B9VBqL *Tamron 17-70mm lens- https://bhpho.to/3g5D5Sv *Sony A7C- https://bhpho.to/3qrSRc9 *Sony Zeiss 50mm- https://bhpho.to/2Wl7OjY *Fuji GFX 50R- https://avcstore.com/products/fujifilm-gfx-50r-medium-format-mirrorless-camera-body-only?_pos=1&_sid=62647f7ce&_ss=r *Fuji GF 63mm- https://avcstore.com/collections/medium-format-lenses-1/products/fujifilm-gf-63mm-f-2-8-r-wr-lens We hope you find this video helpful and we thank you for watching!

PLEASE THUMBS UP, SHARE, LEAVE A COMMENT AND SUBSCRIBE!!! The Sony A1 is the new flagship camera for Sony Mirrorless and boasts some truly eye popping features and specs. It's APPEALING to pretty much any Sony shooter out there. But how many Sony shooters does it actually APPLY TO? Especially at the price tag of $7,000 with tax? This video is dedicated to helping photographers figure out if they NEED this incredible new camera vs. just wanting it.

Got a bunch of old lights that you wanna get rid of and upgrade to the best light in the world? This is the program for you. Rotolight has just launcheda brand new trade up program that allows you to trade in your old Rotolights AND also lights from other brands! Here's how it works: Step 1: Got to www.rotolight.com/tradeup- enter the light that you want to trade in for a cash value towards a Titan X1 or X2. Once you've entered that information you will receive a promo code that takes that cash value and applies it towards the purchase of a Titan X1 or X2. Please note: Following that registration process you will receive an email from Rotolight confirming the trade in that you have registered. IGNORE THAT EMAIL...here's why :) This is the first time ever that I've negotiateda deal with Rotolight for them to accept multiple promo codes for this program. Check out step 2 to do the DOUBLE DIP. Step 2: Copy the promo code that Rotolight sent you for your old lighting gear. Step 3: Go to www.rotolight.com/jasonoffers and find the Titan bundle that you want to purchase. The reason this is super important is because you get the battery adapter bundle WITH this method. If you simply follow the steps in the email Rotolight sends you then you won't get the battery bundle. Step 4: Add the Titan bundle that you want and then go to your cart (basket). Enter BOTH the Jason Lanier promo code associated with your bundle AND the trade up program promo code to get the most gear and best price anywhere in the world on a Rotolight Titan. I truly hope this helps photographers out there to be able to trade out their old gear and get into the best new lighting available anywhere. Please let me know what questions you have. Thanks! Jason Lanier

Do you struggle to create because you don't have the cash to finance a photo shoot? THIS IS THE VIDEO FOR YOU! In this video Jason finds a free location, props and wardrobe to produce a shoot with zero cost...and he hopes the tips and tricks will help you as well! PLEASE THUMBS UP, SHARE, LEAVE A COMMENT AND SUBSCRIBE! Many times we struggle as creators because we have a vision for what we want to create but we lack the funds to do it. Jason believes that by finding areas that are free to shoot and using clothes that either the model owns or you find on location, you can create some very organic and creative compositions. This video features the stunning Anakaren Sanchez as the model. Jason and Ana explore an abandoned house in Mobile, Alabama and actually find wardrobe for Ana to wear from the house itself. Jason then uses props from around the location to tie the shoot in to make it a well rounded shoot that tells a story and looks authentic. **Links to Gear** *Sony A9- https://bhpho.to/35PyHQX *Sony Zeiss 35mm- https://bhpho.to/31XPakZ 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: Anakaren Sanchex *Instagram: www.instagram.com/anakarensanchez_123 We hope it helps and thank you for watching!
