I recently had the pleasure to lead a workshop with Creve Coure Camera which was sponsored by Olympus at the Missouri State Penitentiary in Jefferson, MO. The following images were taken during the workshop. This was my first experience at this location. I have photographed the Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia many times, so I was somewhat familiar with what to expect. There were many similarities, but there were equally as many differences. One of the differences was that this facility had it’s own gas chamber. I must admit, I had a very eerie feeling in here. The prison operated from 1836 – 2004. Many of the images were processed in-camera with a monochromatic filter and a couple of them in HDR. The equipment I used was the Olympus PEN-F paired with the M.Zuiko ED 8mm F1.8 Fisheye PRO & the OM-D E-M5 MkII paired with the M.Zuiko ED 7-14mm f2.8 PRO (an amazing combination).
Welcome to the Gas Chamber

Frank. Awesome shots. Very eerie. I think you’ve captured the essence. I’ve been to Eastern State Penn and these photos are much more disturbing.

Jim, Thanks! I agree with you.
love the 8mm fish eye shots, as it’s a lens I already own it’s nice to see more footage shot by it and to get some inspiration thank you
David, Thank you. I am a wide an angle shooter. So, I enjoy the fisheye & the 7-14mm f2.8 PRO.
Keep in touch, Frank
Have you been to Alcatraz or San Quentin, San Francisco, CA?
Arianna, I have been to Alcatraz. But the number of people there have always been a challenge. How about you?
