If you've ever tuned into an episode of chasejarvisLIVE (or even if you've missed them all) tomorrow, Thursday, May 12 would be a great episode NOT to miss.

It involves a worldwide creative collaboration of artists and creatives, including YOU. Yes, literally you. Who: You, Me, & a...

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...

Want a better chance of getting hired? Read this: There are raging debates online all over the place about how to approach Art Directors and Creative Directors to show work. Email them, or don't. Do backflips for them, send them a carrier pigeon, only send a book, etc. Frankly, it's all over the damned map. As it turns out, some of those folks are my friends and they want to help us help them. And...

A couple weeks ago, I made a call out to y'all: "Show me yours, and I'll show you mine". I was kissing winter goodbye and --as we patted on the ass on the way out the door--I wanted to see any winter photos you were interested in sharing. Well I finally made it through the couple thousand or more that came in. And whoa. Some great stuff - thanks so much for sharing the inspiration....

Kate stepping in here to give you a bit of info from the business side of photography & filmmaking, this time about taxes. Yes, it is that time of year again. If you're in the ol' USA and didn't already know it, the due date for 2010 US Federal taxes has been extended to April 18, 2011. That may be really great news to anyone scurrying around to finish up taxes at the last minute. ...

In case you missed the last chasejarvisLIVE, we posted the above video excerpt of my interview segment with art director/creative mojo/REI brand manager Jason Sutherland. In this video interview, Jason shares wicked insight on how photographers get selected for jobs, where he and his art director/creative director peers look for new talent, how he judges your work, why, and a whole lot more. The above vid is only a portion of the full...
