Whether you caught the LIVE show or missed it, I recommend pressing play on the #cjLIVE rewatch video above. You'll see why it was one of the most popular shows we've run. More than just funny and talented, Kawasaki is a fountain of knowledge on lofty topics like branding, marketing, and vision--down to really specific, actionable checklists for getting your art, photography, product, or gadget noticed. Four stars - not to miss. ----

Unless you've been living under a rock, we've all heard of the 365 day projects - where a photographer takes a photo of something in their life every day for a year. (You might also have been living under a rock if you missed my new "Emerging Talent" series announcement...). With 365 projects - not unlike new years resolutions - many start, few finish. One photographer, a young fellow named Alex Stoddard, not only finished... read more ›

Might have caught this earlier, but here's a fascinating look at iconic portraits that were originally shot in black and white that have since been colorized in Photoshop. Normally, I don't fall for this stuff, but this is incredibly elegant I'd say. Seeing Abraham Lincoln in color just seems to make him more a little more "real". Same goes for the others above. These guys/gals look like a bunch... read more ›

This post should actually be called: "How People THINK Photographers Spend Their Time -VS- How They Actually Spend It -- it's not what you think and it's not too late". Come to think of it, perhaps I'll find an even better title... [Done.] Experience tells me that non-photographers, or amateur photographers often have an idyllic view of the life of a professional photographer. It's all romping around with a pricy camera, with hot models in... read more ›

3 weeks ago, I put the $150,000 Phantom Flex camera through its paces during an experimental fashion shoot with my good friend, director Will Hyde from Superfad. We had an absolute blast. We also had superhot female talent, an epic wardrobe, do-it-yourself solutions mixed with the highest end pro gear, and more than 50,000 watts of light. While the shoot went on for 6 hours, this here re-watch has been trimmed to include... read more ›

---- Update: just a reminder that Guy Kawasaki is on chasejarvisLIVE tomorrow, Wednesday March 21. Details are here.... ------- The jury is out. For some it's the best thing ever. For others it's just another social media tool that clutters the horizon, and for others still it hasn't lived up to the hype that Google may have hoped. But NYTimes best-selling author Guy Kawasaki tells us why we're wrong in his new ebook What the... read more ›

Welcome to a series of posts I'm calling Emerging Talent - where I'm spotlighting the work of photographers and filmmakers on the rise. Some are shooters that me and my spies will uncover from 500px or Flickr - others might already be shooting campaigns, but in both cases I don't care about what the "industry" says. This is simply work I like. IMHO their careers are either on the move or are about to be.... read more ›

Hello, readers! Megan here, Producer at Chase Jarvis Inc. We’ve just returned from an amazing 6-day shoot in Aspen, CO. You perhaps read about it here, here, or here. It got me thinking about client/crew relationships and customer service. One of the ways you can set yourself apart as a creative professional is to really go the extra mile for both your client(s) and your crew. This applies to YOU, whether you’re a photographer or... read more ›
