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 ›

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 ›

But it's not his ability to count money that's gotten him a lot of press lately...it's his hobby, which is... read more ›

Day 4 here, coming at you--almost live--from Aspen/Snowmass. We've had an epic previous 3 days...and today the weather turned milky on us.
