Photographer Chris Jordan on his Midway Project

I'm a huge fan of the work of a friend of mine, photographer Chris Jordan. His work is both subtle and bold, timely and timeless. Among other things, it beautifully (albeit tragically) explores human consumerism/consumption and the resulting detriments to the planet. From his work, we get a sense of freedom to grieve this predicament, but also a motivation toward change and inspired cause-based activism. The above video is a short chronicle of Chris' midway... read more ›

How To Steal Ideas Like an Artist

You read the title and thought I was talking smack. But in fact, I'm trying to give advice. The history of the world is one of shared spaces, shared food, shared water, shared DNA, shared lives. The history of art is the same. It is a history of an evolution of ideas, of appropriation and application. Therefore, if you're looking for inspiration, look no further than 1. inside you; and then 2. to other art... read more ›

I’m Busy Working

Apologies that today's post is bit late, but that's cause I'm tied up...ahem..."working". Here's Scott finishing the morning work session. Might be spring where you're at, but it's the dead of winter here at Stevens Pass and that's just fine with me. Continue reading

Photographer JR. The Power of Photography.

I've watched this vid a half dozen times since it came out a while back. I never tire of it. If you missed it when it first dropped --OR, hell, even if you've seen it before--please saddle up here for 5 min and enjoy the unique power of photography. When I talk about "Social Art" (like here for example) this is, in part, what I'm getting at. A magnificent and stunning example here... read more ›

There’s nothing wrong with being an amateur.

As an alternative view to yesterday's popular post, there's nothing wrong with being an amateur. I’m an amateur soccer player, an amateur cook, an amateur skier, designer, racecar driver, and flyfisherman. And I’m happy to be an amateur at all of those things. Actually I LOVE being an amateur at all of those things - it allows me to dabble, make a ton of mistakes, goof around, drop the ball, not care when something else... read more ›

So You Want To Be A Professional?

So you want to be a professional? Photographer. Director. Golfer. Belly dancer. Designer. Waiter. Model. If you’re wondering if you’ve got what it takes to go pro, try it. Seriously. Quit what you're doing now and go there. You’ll know soon after you’ve tried to go there whether or not you’re in the right spot. If you don’t have what it takes, it will be obvious - going pro will be too hard, other things... read more ›

Chase Jarvis LIVE on Wed April 6 – Taking All Your Questions [+ a Special Guest]

Whenever I give a talk or host a show, my fav part is the Q&A. Rather than me guessing what I should share, you just ask away. Especially the hard questions that you can't learn in photography books: landing clients, overcoming failures, working with challenging clients, legal, gear, portfolio questions, whatever it might be. In this year's first #AskChase version of chasejarvisLIVE, I got thru about 40 of your questions in the 90 min show.... read more ›

Who Stole My Hair? [Happy April Fools’ Day]

Happy April Fools' Day. Here in the ol' USA, today is an unofficial holiday where gags, jokes and general tomfoolery are played on/between/amongst friends. In true fashion, there is plenty of said tomfoolery happening around our place. In a totally bizarre turn of events true fashion, it seems that some members of my crew have shown up to work today styled-up to look like one another. Here are a handful of mugshots. If... read more ›

Models Know Best: What It Takes to Be A Great Photographer

Action_Photo_Tips_1
Hi everyone. Scott here. Ever wonder what the models and athletes you’re shooting are thinking?  No, the answer is not: nothing.  Contrary to popular stereotype, most of these people are bright and driven and are working hard on their end of the camera.  I know, it looks easy, but that’s the trick, the good ones always make it look easy.  Well, I’m no fashion model, but I have spent enough time on the sharp end... read more ›

Essential HDSLR Gear: The Rode Stereo Video Mic

_ZZZ1271
[Alrighty gear heads. Erik here with a continuation of the series of posts where I elaborate on the gear that I consider essential for my video job here at CJinc.  I previously discussed how the Zaucto Z-Finder helps me guarantee the visual quality of my video, and in this post I'll explain how the Rode Stereo Video Mic ensures that my BTS footage will have respectable sound too.  Perhaps more importantly though, how it allows... read more ›

Chase Jarvis in mid-conversation, gesturing with his hands, wearing a casual maroon t-shirt. The background appears to be an indoor space with wooden beams on the ceiling and soft lighting. On the left side, a bold yellow and black graphic reads "THE CHASE JARVIS LIVE SHOW," with each word stacked in a column. The scene conveys an energetic and engaging atmosphere, with Chase passionately explaining something to the person in front of him.The Secret to Lifelong Creativity (Hint: It Doesn’t End After Your 20s)
