This Wednesday I'll be hosting pulitzer-prize winning photographer, award winning director, and my good pal Vincent Laforet into my studio for another broadcast of chasejarvisLIVE. In this 90 minute show, we'll talk shop, cut thru all the fluff, cut past Reverie and all the hubub to the meat of the things that matter. We'll also be taking your questions LIVE via my @chasejarvis twitter handle, hashtag #cjLIVE. It's free. It's live. Just point your web... read more ›

Adding cinema/motion/video to my base skill set as originally a still-only photographer has been a big, fun challenge for me. Creatively, professionally, and technically. It's also been good for business. I've noticed that, like anything engaging, it's an ever-evolving, never-satisfied skill set that can be grown quickly by learning from--and with--others. That's precisely why the fine folks at creativeLIVE.com have brought back one of the top HdDSLR instructors in the world, a good friend of... read more ›

Whenever I give a talk or host a show, I've heard from this community time and again that one of the most valuable things is the Q&A wrap up. Straight up. You asking questions and me doing my best to answer them. And not just the "how'd you get started in photography" questions.... we're talking the hard questions, landing clients, hiring staff, working with challenging clients, legal questions, gear questions, portfolio questions, whatever you can... read more ›

If you missed the Jeremy Cowart episode of chasejarvisLIVE last week--bummer cause it was a really good one. LOTs of good info about the struggles involved in turning pro. Gear talk, starting your business, agents, stories of the lean times, amazing gigs and more. And here's some good news: the above YouTube vid is a rewatch of that broadcast. Jeremy is a great photographer and a uber-talented, hardworking and humble guy. And he's... read more ›

FINAL UPDATE: Thank you, thank you, thank you! Together we raised $5000 -- enough to build a fresh water well that will serve 250 families forever--and we did it in under 18 hours. Who makes this possible? YOU and http://www.charitywater.org. Please check them out and continue to give. Consider asking your friends and family to re-direct what they'd normally spend on your birthday this year and send it to charity: water. 100% (yes you read... read more ›

You know Jeremy Cowart. He's an amazing portrait, entertainment, and travel photographer from Nashville - and also the founder of the great Help-Portrait. Lucky for us, we're dragging him up to Seattle for another smash-tastically sweet episode of chasejarvisLIVE tomorrow. I'll sit down with Jeremy for 90 minutes and talk shop. I'm banking that we'll learn how, after shifting from graphic design just a few years ago, how he has enjoyed dramatic success shooting music,... read more ›

In the past several days, I've received a ton of correspondence asking if I'd re-post my chasejarvisLIVE Keynote address from the PDN Photo Plus Expo in NYC last week. You asked for it, you got it. At about the 25-or-so minute mark, I wrap up my monologue and invite a handful of guests on stage, all of whom I consider my friends who are living my message. I think you'll be quite engaged.... read more ›

I'm excited and proud to officially announce today the launch of Seattle 100: Portrait of a City. This project--a photo, video, and ethnographic study--is the culmination of a 3-year long labor of love where I've identified more than 100 people who are driving culture in/around Seattle. If you've been following along here for the past few weeks, you've seen me writing and vlogging about it. Well, now it's finally here. And like many... read more ›
