Photographer Mark Meyers just wrote up a nice enough story aimed at driving awareness fear in professional photographers ... fear about the future of their career, their well-being, their jobs. Depicted in that article this image at left, which was completely generated by the author of the post using an emerging 3d modeling software called Blender. The quote that stands out from the article is this one: "If you are a photographer that makes...

Beginner or emerging photographer? Well, once you know what’s happening with your camera and all those dials, it’s time to take on lighting and flash photography. In taking that next step - learning to light - you can do almost anything, and nothing opens up this opportunity more effectively and affordably than working with Speedlights, those small on- and off-camera lights that are your entree into a whole new world. ...Which gives me a great...

Every so often, I discover or am reminded of tectonic shifts in photography that seem to be little-known by the exploding world of photographers. No harm, no foul; but in those cases, I feel feel a social + moral desire (obligation?) to occasionally point to these shifts. One such case is New York's Photo...

As we artists continue to be forced to become entrepreneurs in our own right (see this episode of #cjLIVE with Zoe Keating), all things entrepreneurial are of interest to me... How can we channel our creative stuff into thinking into light, fast and hardcore focus like most startups are forced to think. The correlation is not a perfect one, but it's expressly relevant to us creatives. It's relevant for me not only in...

Posted for your enjoyment. If you missed this LIVE show with Zoe Keating (or if you didn't...!) you'll want to take a peek. For one, IMHO it's some of our most beautiful footage and one of the best sounding of any chasejarvisLIVE to date - we're getting pretty tight on our capture because we're having a blast. For two - and more importantly-- in addition to Zoe Keating and her cello making some...

If you're primarily an on-location photographer or filmmaker, then you know how much value a great location can add to the shoot. So today I'm introducing another Series (ala the 'Emerging Talent' and others...) where I feature supercool locations around the world. Stuff I discover, stuff that other send me, places I'd love to shoot. Of course feel free to chime in, share, link, or otherwise contribute in...

Sometimes, however, what starts with a cool cellphone picture sent from a friend becomes an amazing, thought-provoking piece of photojournalism that probes the relationships between humans at the wild, humans and animals, and humans and each other. And I'm rarely stopped dead in my tracks when a photo crosses my field of view - but I was with these photos, with this body of work. Pieter Hugo's The Hyena and Other Men is a series...

IKEA may seem like nothing more than a necessary evil for those who don't wanna drop a full paycheck on a single piece of furniture (and hey, their pre-fab systems and some in-store displays are actually quite innovative...), but this here is some next level shiz: an eco-friendly, cardboard-bodied digital camera. Shoots/stores up to 40 images, uses AA batteries (which, if you can find them hiding in...

Young NYC based photographer Ignacio Torres gave me cause for pause with his fascinating photographs that look like they come straight from the mind of Carl Sagan ("we are all made of star stuff"). Torres used three dimensional gifs to make these photographs even more dynamic. Click through the gallery image tabs above for more examples of Torres' work. Here's what he has to say about his "Stellar" project: This project began from the theory...
