Whoa. Pinch myself. I'm today en route to China on an epic assignment for the luxury watch brand Panerai, sailing this here 105 foot sailboat through the South China Sea from Shanghai to Hong Kong, and across to Taiwan in a mere 8 days. And I was just recently given this cool news: I can share with you the adventures of this campaign along the way. Assuming I can get satellite uploads from the middle... read more ›

Thanks so much to everyone who tuned in to the sharing of my experiences with the new Nikon D7000 camera in this post here, where I featured the behind the scenes video and a new short film: Benevolent Mischief. It just so happens that I've been sitting on another little nugget since then that I'm excited to share today: the Benevolent Mischief REMIX featuring MC Victor Shade and MTK. Without losing you in... read more ›

I was in Paris last week. Part work, but mostly fun. Eating, drinking, being merry, and of course, snapping photos my iPhone--as I do everyday--with no end goal beyond staying creatively engaged. I was just now kicking through photos from the trip and stumbled on a couple of snapshots I thought were interesting for various reasons. I’ve posted stuff like this before and was really excited by the resulting discussion, so I figured I'd throw... read more ›

Thought you'd get a kick out of this video that takes the latest Speedo advertising campaign from ideation to creation. I wish it went a whole bunch deeper (pun), but it's certainly enough to get my attention. Hope you dig. The underwater studio at Pinewood (0:42) is really dope. (I'm jealous...wish I'd have hired that pool for this work I did a while back...) Also--since the vid doesn't give any real love to... read more ›

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 ›

Happy 4th of July weekend to USA readers. And to everyone, here's an "off topic" post, unless of course you like photo, film, music, or pop culture, and then this is right on topic. Following a wave of requests, this is a re-broadcast of a recent popular chasejarvisLIVE where I played host to two amazing and culturally relevant figures: emcee RA Scion and writer, filmmaker, and critic Charles Mudede. This video is a... 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 ›
