Cameras Made From Real Human Skulls

If you follow me on Twitter, you likly already saw this from my morning tweet, but I couldn't resist posting it here as well. It's just too unbelievable not to share. This photo (left) is of a functioning 4x5 camera made from aluminum, titanium, brass, silver, gem stones and a genuine 150-year-old human skull. Seriously. It seems that the maker of these camera, photographer Wayne Martin Belger is a complete purist and only willing to... read more ›

Best Camera – 5 Tips For Making Great iPhone Photos

My iPhone has been like crack to me since the day one on the market, June 3, 2007. Most of us iPhone users make regular and swift use of the impressive 'Net, email, and location-based tools, but as a professional creative I'm always using the built-in camera to grab snaps of anything that catches my eye for ideas, inspiration, and such. In fact--in case you didn't know--I post daily mobile iPhone snaps to my Facebook... read more ›

After Photography

People once said, "Digital sucks, I'm sticking with film." People once said, "I'll create a library of images (stock? almost forgot it existed...), retire young and live off my royalties." People once said, "The sky (cloud?) is falling." People (me) have said, "This is the most interesting time in history to be a photographer." It's a known fact that more photographs are being used, licensed, sold today than ever before in history. Some photographers are... read more ›

Updated Portfolio + New Project

I just recently updated my online portfolio with some more images that strike the chord I've been pursuing lately: curious moments coupled with simple, inky finishes that kick contrast and density rules to the curb.Reminds me: I gained some insights, some laughs and some horror out of reading the comments from a post not too long ago where I encouraged you to Be My Editor, as well as the followup post The Results Are In.... read more ›

Stevens Pass Book. Going…Going…

Never thought I'd be complaining about signing the last 500 in a series of 2500 limited-edition books, but here I'm eating crow. Cody pulled together the funny little timelapse above, highlighting yours truly signing my last and final palette of Stevens Pass books at the warehouse. Can you say hand cramps? Big thanks to those of you who already nabbed a copy of my limited edition, self-published coffee table book in time for the... read more ›

The Secret to Success in Photography

I recently synthesized -- stumbled upon, really -- a great response to a question I've been asked at least 10,000 times. It's a simple question on the surface, but I've always seen the answer to be so complex.Until now.Q: "Chase, how do I 'make it' as a photographer?"Prior to today, I either tried to respond with some enthusiastic bullet points about passion, creativity, and hard work; or I lamented that I didn't have a good... read more ›

Will Work For FREE?

Many of you know David Hobby, aka Strobist. He and I are dear friends. We talk often. And we’ve been talking for several weeks now about free photography. Free? Huh? Whadaya mean FREE?! FREE? This is where some of you may freak out.Ya, I mean free. Not as in licensing photographs you’ve already taken, but as in taking pictures for someone's use, in exchange for zero money. A project, a test, an assignment. I’ve been... read more ›
