[Update: the video hummed along nicely for about 24 hours, however sometime late Saturday/early Sunday the embedded video stopped playing here, presumably due to Facebook bandwidth constraints/large traffic volumes. We reposted and it was just more of the same. They're still serving it to my Facebook page if you're interested in checking it out there.]Whew! Just wrapped the first ever (I'm told) national ad campaign shot with the Nikon D3x. What an absolute beaut of...

Alrighty. I'm pumped to try something new here. Today I am starting work on a 4-day North American advertising campaign, which--according only to what those I know in the biz can confirm for me--might just be the first such campaign shot using the Nikon D3x.Oh ya, btw, I've started dropping some 24.5 megapixel Nikon bombs these days. Just got a production D3x on Friday.As a part of my continued mission with this here blog, I...

You should know that the above video is not my typical video. Sure it’s a Chase Jarvis RAW - the series where I normally show a bunch of behind the scenes footage from a shoot - but this is different because, while this certainly is the backstage of “a shoot,” there are ultimately no models, no cameras, no lighting, no wardrobe or props anywhere to be found in this video. Huh? I understand that...

My iPhone has been like crack to me since the day one on the market, June 3, 2007. Most of us iPhone users make regular and swift use of the impressive 'Net, email, and location-based tools, but as a professional creative I'm always using the built-in camera to grab snaps of anything that catches my eye for ideas, inspiration, and such. In fact--in case you didn't know--I post daily mobile iPhone snaps to my Facebook...

I just recently updated my online portfolio with some more images that strike the chord I've been pursuing lately: curious moments coupled with simple, inky finishes that kick contrast and density rules to the curb.Reminds me: I gained some insights, some laughs and some horror out of reading the comments from a post not too long ago where I encouraged you to Be My Editor, as well as the followup post The Results Are In....

Never thought I'd be complaining about signing the last 500 in a series of 2500 limited-edition books, but here I'm eating crow. Cody pulled together the funny little timelapse above, highlighting yours truly signing my last and final palette of Stevens Pass books at the warehouse. Can you say hand cramps? Big thanks to those of you who already nabbed a copy of my limited edition, self-published coffee table book in time for the...

I recently synthesized -- stumbled upon, really -- a great response to a question I've been asked at least 10,000 times. It's a simple question on the surface, but I've always seen the answer to be so complex.Until now.Q: "Chase, how do I 'make it' as a photographer?"Prior to today, I either tried to respond with some enthusiastic bullet points about passion, creativity, and hard work; or I lamented that I didn't have a good...

http://www.viddler.com/simple/7a644389/In May of this year I was invited--along with photo Illuminati compadres David Hobby (Strobist) and David Nightingale (Chromasia)--to Gulf Photo Plus in Dubai, UAE to give a little chat to some photographers. The seminar was called "Making the Web Work for You". If you're at all thinking of blogging, video, the web, or sharing information, then you will pick up a thing or two, guaranteed. Keep in mind, it's almost entirely unedited. But there...
