Guess who’s on deck for the next 2 series of creativeLIVE weekend workshops? Two stellar folks: David DuChemin - Vision Driven Photography David’s recent series of books (Within the Frame and Vision Mongers) have carved a niche in photographic education that--prior to now--rarely got discussed. That niche is VISION. The internet has given photographers so many tools to work with gear and specs and digits and all that crap, but there’s been a distinct absence... read more ›

Client: “How come all the photos I took have the heads cut off?” You: “Hmm, Did you look though the view finder when you took them?” Client: “I don’t know what that is. Can’t you just move the picture up so I can see their heads? I mean they’re digital pictures?” -- Clients come in all shapes, sizes and levels of experience in every line of work. Embedded this here due to its relevance. If... read more ›

How to promote your work and get noticed as a photographer is one of the more popular questions I get asked on an almost daily basis. I'll certainly be chiming in on this topic over the next few weeks as we explore this topic more in depth, but in the mean time, I thought I'd curate a few other opinions and asking some of my industry friends to chime in... That should help round out... read more ›

I received an inspiring gift from a friend the other day that I thought I'd share with you here. Chew on it over the weekend. Hopefully this resonates with the creative part in you as it did with me. I made me want to make stuff even more and share it with the world. It is a confidential prospectus for a new magazine:THE PURPOSE: To see life; to see the world; to eyewitness great events;... read more ›

Whew! What a week it was last week... Last Wednesday, I brought pal and photog instructor guru Zack Arias into my studio for another episiode of chasejarvisLIVE. We chatted photography for 2 hours and took questions from the live Twitter audience via #cjlive. Was a blast. While about 20,000 of you caught the interview LIVE--it seemed like I got at least that many tweets/emails/fbook requests to post it again here on the blog,... read more ›

Remember when I did the original chasejarvisLIVE photo shoot way back in winter? If you recall, I was shooting the album cover image for alt/punk country band Brent Amaker and the Rodeo. We also did post production and editing on the images LIVE as well a few weeks after the shoot. Well now it's time to print these suckers on a limited edition run of vinyl and there is somewhat of a debate on which... read more ›

We're bringing Zack to Seattle for his creativeLIVE workshop, and I'm stealing an hour of his time before hand to talk shop in my studio. Think Barbara Walters meets Jon Stewart meets Photography (meets... read more ›

I wish I had a better plan, but I’m trying to make a film about the world right now through my eyes. I’m trying to use some of this technology we have right now, like our cinema truck and our snowmobile systems and our helicopter systems, to tell the story of the world today in a different way. -Curt MorganWhat do you get when you get when you combine some military spec gyro stabilization with... read more ›
