Thanks to the hundreds of you who wrote in to take a stab at how the ballet image was made [note that this thumbnail here is a crop, not the final...go to the original post to see that one]. A handful of you nailed it to varying degrees. Here's my breakdown of shot: First, this was not a snapshot. Anything I'd list that would be of interest has been planned, choreographed Second, this image was...

Erik here with a quick little weekend video challenge for y’all. In the spirit of Chase’s 60 Second Portraits, we've been toying with AND wanna see some of YOUR... 60 Second Landscapes. So here's a challenge from us to you: Grab your video-capable capturing device and hit the streets/mountains/beaches/what-have-you’s and roll a quick one minute on the best landscape you can find. Perhaps shoot a bunch and then select your favorite. Then, post your results to...

If you've ever questioned the power of an image, consider the current news cycle. The US government has decided it won't show images of the dead Bin Laden. If you're wondering why, the answer is simple. A photograph--an image--is an incredibly powerful thing. It can be a tool, intentionally or incidentally. It can tell an entire story of a month, year, decade, or a generation, captured in perhaps just 1/1000 of a second. An image...

Hi friends. Kate here again. I've been reading your questions lately, I've noticed that many are about production. It's no doubt that shooting days can be stressful: you have a set of objectives that need to be accomplished, time is limited, the client is present, weather, travel, lodging and permits may be a factor, you're coordinating people and there are always little surprises that crop up. Plain and simple, there are just lots of moving parts...

I learned to light after years of deconstructing the work of other photographers. And I know from your previous feedback that you guys are fond of these posts, so let’s dig into another one. How did I make this picture? Is it a lucky snapshot? Is it lit? If so, how? The camera Settings? The direction? Post production? Whatever details you think are needed to make this image. Looking forward to you trying to pick...

As the aftermath of the Japan earthquake and tsunami have fallen lower on the news-cycle, a group of committed artists, some friends of mine and a whole lotta people--Yoko Ono, William Gibson, Barry Eisler, Jake Adelstein, Kings of Leon and others--have stepped up to create 2:46 #Quakebook, a "rich collection of essays, artwork and photographs submitted by individuals around the world, including people who endured the disaster and journalists who covered it." Quakebook, started with...

\\\\\ UPDATE the mystery bike match game has been solved. Deb got them all right on this comment. ///// Howdy y’all, Dartanyon here. We normally don't post much on the weekend, but I wanted to take a moment for an off-topic Sunday morning Public Service Announcement. May is bike to work [and school] month. Around the studio we're environmentally conscious, and have turned BTWM into sorta a big deal. We join in on the ride...

Friends. Just wanted to say a huge thanks for tuning into chasejarvisLIVE on Wednesday for our broadcast with We Are Augustines. Those guys showed us the love by opening up their backstory, their creative process, and a truly inspired performance. And you showed the love right back in spades. When I told the band that 30,000 of you tuned into the show on Wednesday--that they were performing to a virtual stadium full of people--they were...

[note: this is behind the scenes - the finished vid is below...] Ever since I was a kid I've envisioned shooting videos the old way...the "practical" way where the moves and gimmicks, the set changes and the moving walls happen in camera, in real time, and real space, as opposed to the numerous luxuries we have nowadays in post production. In short, the opportunity to live out that vision from when I was a kid...
