A while back I had Grammy Award Winner, Sir Mix-A-lot on chasejarvisLIVE. The guy is smart - dropped some pretty serious knowledge on the show [here's the re-watch if you missed it]. At the end of the show, I shot the cover for his upcoming album, live, online. Here are the results. The lead one that shows his face is my fav, but there's plenty of debate, because the other shot is tough and mysterious....

Two weeks ago I announced a labor of love collaboration project (plus some behind the scenes photos...) that's been underway for the past few months. It’s a group art show called Made in Polaroid 50 | 50 | 50 - top artists from photography, painting, graffiti, filmmaking, design, theater, acting, sculpture and more all have come together to raise money for Free Arts NYC, a nonprofit that provides under-served kids and families with art education,...

I've shared the whole lot of these before in video format, but today it gives me great pleasure to present my favorite 60 or so images-- edited down from a body of work called "Life of the Party" containing more than 21,000 images captured in a single 5 hour evening. Yes you read that correctly...(via an out-of-control set up at our last studio anniversary party). Click here for my favorite results. [***UPDATE: BTW, a lot...

Is it just me, or is there something dreadfully bizzare just off with this whole thingie? The Gothamist thinks so. So seriously, am I off my rocker being sort of suspended in disbelief? Here's the behind the scenes video from Elle.com, which was even weirder...

Lots of people would have called Chris Jordan crazy to leave a career as a well-paid attorney to pursue a career as a fine art photographer with a cause-based mission to document the human impact on the world. That is, they would have called him crazy, until they saw his work and the impact that work is having. Gallery shows, museums, speaking gigs, documentary films, and moving the world to action. That's why you must...

Damn if the weather this summer hasn't alternated between drought conditions and torrential storms. One week the plants are wilting, the next, they're looking for a snorkel, trying their damnedest not to drown. Sorta the same with people. For us USA'ers, this weekend is a holiday weekend, but regardless where you are, this weekend largely marks the beginning of a seasonal shift. As such, I've found 9 reasons that you should get off your arse,...

The following is a transcription excerpt from a conversation a while back on #cjLIVE between yours truly and my dear friend, Pulitzer Prize winning photographer and filmmaker Vincent Laforet where we discuss gear, professional career, creative vision and more. We've got it on video (link at end of this post), but I think the transcript is nice because you can skim the conversation in just a couple minutes. And there are some nuggets in there...

If you know anything about me, you know that creating multi-disciplinary, socially enabled art AND getting unlikely people together into one community are really important tenets to my career and my life. It’s with that in mind that I’m today spilling the beans to you about a project on which I’ve quietly been building for the past couple months in collaboration with my friends at Polaroid. It’s a group art show called 50 | 50...
