Fraction Magazine today launched their annual Holiday Print Sale where, for between $30 and $100 bucks, you can purchase some pretty stunning original photographic art work. I got a DM from them this morning about the sale, went over and took a peek, and was positively struck by a lot of the work. The hook? The hook is that there is no hook. 100% of... read more ›

If you're like me, you probably use your iphone/android/whatever phone camera as a visual journal. Certainly I shoot creative photos with it, but I'm also constantly generating snapshots of things I like, patterns, ideas, magazine covers, ads, and other stuff that act as inspiration or reminders for me to check out something in greater detail later when I've got more time. Well, Google's new-ish app "Google Goggles" capitalizes on this. Snap a photo, do a... read more ›

Happy Friday. I'm on the road today, but thought I'd squeeze in this video I found interesting. It illustrates--without all the CGI and Hollywood set, post production, and mojo coverup--some cool interplay between stunt men/women and a few RED cinema cameras on booms, jibs, cables and handheld. Basically, it's a BTS stunt training video. You'll need to slide into the vid a bit you see the actual cameras (the target of this vid... read more ›

I heard it again yesterday for the billionth time: "Digital Photography". Isn't it time we drop the word 'digital'? Seems we've managed to drop the "electric" from "electric guitar" in common parlance. We found it easy to drop the word "acrylic" from "acrylic painting" when that came on the scene with oils. We quickly ditched the "digital" from "digital music" when it took the lead over records and tapes and CDs. I suppose by-and-large our... 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 ›

People that have "done it" will be able to do it again. Whether it's shooting a successful commercial assignment, hanging in a museum, making a music video, or whatever. It may not be a de-facto truth, but that's what's believed on the open market. It's SAFER for the person hiring a creative if they can point to something that you've already done. One reason I get a lot of work is that I've done a... read more ›

Levi's recognizes that photography is absolutely a core component of a new era of creativity. Here's proof: check out their newest project, The Levi's Photo Workshop.

"...a way for Levi’s to offer a unique experience based around creativity... read more ›

If you’ve been paying attention to my latest photo adventure play-by-play here online, then it needs little introduction. The short version is that I’ve been aboard the Pangaea sailing in the South China Sea (in typhoon season....) with renowned explorer Mike Horn. That said, the GEAR for my current project has been the subject of lots of your questions via my Twitter, Facebook and here on the blog, so I thought I’d give you a... read more ›
