Ironically, Good Verbal Communication = Success in Photography

I really enjoy connecting with aspiring, or student photographers way more than I do with old school, jaded pros. There's usually a good spirit in there, even if some of the questions or attitudes are naive - they're at least fresh and, well, bouncy. I often rap with students from The Brooks Institute, Art Center, Santa Fe Workshops, Parsons, Seattle Central, RIT, etc. Sometimes I'm mortified with the b/s they have to endure (instructors, keep... read more ›

Chase Jarvis TECH: POV Photography

The Backstory Innovation is key to making visible, recognizable images. And there's almost always an option to photograph something from a cool angle or a unique perspective. One of my favorite techniques to take advantage of this involves creating killer point-of-view (POV) images. While the thought of strapping a large, expensive camera to a model, your buddy, a bike, car, etc, may seem like nothing more than a good way to break some gear, this... read more ›

One Camera That Money Can’t Buy

I was just reading/responding to a great discussion from an earlier post herein about buying point and shoot cameras (43 comments and rising), when an intriguing video clip I saw a while ago popped back into my head. I figured the older post with all its techi-ness and commercialism (it features nearly every brand including Nikon, Canon, Leica, Pentax, Rioch, Panasonic, Fuji et al) would juxtapose nicely against this post featuring a new, entirely different... read more ›

Interview on StudioLighting.net

Many topics in photography, design, or art are perfect for the bite-size chunks we expect from blogs. Other deeper concepts such as creative vision, business strategy, motivation, etc, are complex and often require more than a couple paragraphs in a column. That's why the nice guys over at StudioLighting.net have begun posting audio files from full-on interviews with some photographers. They ask probing questions that demand longer, in-depth answers. I was happy to spend an... read more ›

Cornicopea of Speedlinks

-I love that Mikhail Gorbachev will soon be a poster-boy for Louis Vuitton. StateoftheArt tells us the campaign is coming in September. Smart advertising I think (funny smart, not Einstein smart). What does this say about our appetite for celebrity? -Please sign this digital petition to make it easier/possible to continue to photograph and film in NYC. Mayor Bloomberg's Office of Film, Theater, and Broadcasting is set to begin requiring a $1 million insurance policy... read more ›

Strobist Lighting Seminar in Seattle

I typically don’t do public service announcements on this blog, but occasionally I feel compelled to do ping you about something news-y when it's relevant. The last one I posted was to remind you to change your clocks over for daylight saving time (I’m the guy who can blow that sort of thing...) This next PSA is about one hundred times more important than showing up for work on time the day after changing your... read more ›

Chase Jarvis RAW: New Zealand Spring

Crazy camera angles, helicopter logistics, truckloads of gear, 15,000 miles and a crew of more than 30 people... As the saying goes, it takes a village. Hopefully you’re familiar with my ongoing video series entitled Chase Jarvis RAW, where I attempt to highlight the underbelly of commercial photography and how much effort goes into creating the images you see in advertisements, magazines, brochures and online. In this latest video, Chase Jarvis RAW: New Zealand Spring,... read more ›

Design, Law, Technology, Vodka, and Art – Something For Everyone

The title of this post should really read: "Design, Law, Technology, Vodka, and Art - Something For Everyone [To Help Me Dig Out From The Past Two Weeks]", but I figured the whole "Dig Out..." part was a bit too much. The gist of the title I spared you, as you might imagine, is that the last couple weeks have been crazy. It's why I've just had the longest run (15 days, gasp!) in the... read more ›

The iPhone Report Card – A Resource

I overheard someone at the LAX airport yesterday saying how cliche it was to blog about the iPhone. Blasphemy! That struck me as really obtuse, since one of the things blogs do best is address popular culture events quickly, relevantly, and with an unfiltered punch. So in your face, airport guy. I say it's not cliche to blog about it, it's probably more of a faux pas (keeping with the French...) for me NOT to,... read more ›
