No 3D modeling, no tilt and shift, no tricks that I can detect. Crazy part about this photo is that those skyscrapers sticking out of the clouds are huge, towering 70+ stories tall each. Even crazier is that this image (not mine) is shot, not from a plane or chopper, but from another building! This image is shot from the world's tallest building which happens to be just down the road from where I'm currently...

In a recent post, reader Clay posed the following question in the comment section: Do you ever use a light meter? If so, what are the situations?It's a good, fair and simple question, so I'll begin by answering it: Clay, not only don't I use a light meter, but it's been so long since I used one that--until you reminded me--I had nearly forgotten that they ever existed. Seriously.Here's why they're less relevant than ever...

I especially loved the guesses for the most recent Chase Jarvis: ROOM WITH(OUT) A VIEW. There were guesses from something like five different continents - love it. If you knew what to look for (you didn't), there were certainly a couple of hints (west coast, the parked cars - know it's not UK or Aussie, etc) but there were also some red herrings trying to place me overseas (1 am in the camera metadata). Anyways,...

Okay. Here's another stumper of an RWAV for you uber-detectives out there. You know the game. I bet I've got you on this one.Here's a hint: west coast.Don't forget to include your url if you think you're onto me, and I'll send some shout outs to whomever can drop the pin closest to me - maybe even the top few. Probably have a pretty quick turn around on this one, since I've got a lot...

Well-executed, creative attempts to get hired by a photographer as an assistant, producer, re-toucher, etc, are few and far between. That said, I was inspired by the following letter I recently received (posted with permission):Obviously you folks are stacked with talented, energetic folks over there at CJ inc.But that's not going to stop me from trying to get my foot in the door over there. I recently left my post as studio manager, assistant, photographer,...

I'm huge in China because the average height of a Chinese male is 5 foot 5 inches tall, and I'm 6 foot tall, right on the dot.Trivia aside, the Chinese periodical PhotoWorld China just rolled out a 5,000 word story featuring yours truly. I normally don't put these things in the regular blog, and instead put this stuff in the press page at chasejarvis.com This is a little different, however, so let me explain: I...

I'm sure you're familiar with this phenomena: every once in a while you'll scroll through your iPod with its 10, 20, 80, 160 gigs of music or whatever, and you won't find anything that sparks you at that moment. 10,000 songs and nothing jumps out at you. Certainly there's some great stuff in there, but every so often, we all need a wakeup call - something bold and new. Well, that's me right now, only...

Whether you're a lover of fine art photography, a collector, an investor, or -wtf- if you have even a single aesthetic-minded bone in your body, please join me for a moment in revering the new work of Camille Seaman (Shinnecock Tribe b.1969). Mark my words, she and her work will be a fixture on the photography landscape for many years to come. A majority of first solo shows happen at galleries that are local to...

Thanks to everyone (close to 600 peeps!) who attended the Photoshelter Town Hall event Friday at the Filmore East in NYC. Good times and lots of discussion on which to ruminate. I really enjoyed meeting so many people from this community - outta site. Other highlights were: the audience participation, the kindness of the Photoshelter folks, the green room where I'm sure LOTS of historic stuff had happened (if those walls could talk), typo in...

-I love that Mikhail Gorbachev will soon be a poster-boy for Louis Vuitton. StateoftheArt tells us the campaign is coming in September. Smart advertising I think (funny smart, not Einstein smart). What does this say about our appetite for celebrity? -Please sign this digital petition to make it easier/possible to continue to photograph and film in NYC. Mayor Bloomberg's Office of Film, Theater, and Broadcasting is set to begin requiring a $1 million insurance policy...
