Each time I have the good fortune to work with DigitalRev TV and my friend Kai Man Wong something memorable happens. For example, you might recall the time that Kai and DigitalRev TV dragged me around Hong Kong with a Lego Camera on one of their infamous CheapCamera Challenges. The highlights included surprise runway models, aggravated kung fu fighters and eating pig's anus on the street. Most recently Kai and his hilarious crew...

WARNING: CONTENTS OF THIS VIDEO MAY BE OFFENSIVE TO SOME, ESPECIALLY PHOTOGRAPHERS WHO HAVE FELT THE PAIN OF GEAR LOSS. In the days before my trip to Iceland, I had the chance to play with the DJI Phantom, an affordable, out-of-the-box quadcopter for budding aerial videographers. As I establish in that test flight post, the footage you yield from the DJI Phantom + GoPro combo may not be pro quality, but it's perfectly...

What a way to end 2013 for chasejarvisLIVE. The show was amazing. Gary V brought the heat to discuss how you can break through the noise of the internet and get your work noticed. Are people not clicking on your photos? Are you you getting lost in the detritus of the internet? I've done a bunch of stuff with Gary like this, and this, and have wanted to have him on #cjLIVE for...

Timelapse shots have achieved ubiquity, yet it's still a technique I get asked about on the reg. I've touched on the timelapse How-To in past posts, but I'm touching base again with a new look at what has become must-have. I love using timelapse in my work. Alternating between real time, slo-mo and timelapse contributes to the temporal tug on the viewer, which keeps them present and guessing. Cloud movements and dipping suns...

A few years back you may recall I dove head-first into a project that explored my home city of Seattle. I interviewed, photographed, and filmed the movers, the shakers, and the changemakers to better understand the culture of my city's beating heart. 106 influencers in total, across almost every creative discipline -- music, food, theater, athletics, activism, education, you name it. I went on to publish a 250 page fine hardback fine art book, gallery...

You know I'm a fan of all things GoPro Hero 3+ since it dropped earlier this month. This vid is another reason to dig it. Tyler Johnson of GoPro uses an array of 24 GoPro Hero 3 cameras to film fire breather David Kelley doing his thing. And who doesn't love a GoPro array. We did one a short while back in this vid (see if you can spot it)...but this is a...

After years of finger-crossing and well-wishing, I finally got the chance to visit Iceland on a commercial shoot a couple months ago. It was worth the wait, but I can't say I'd want to wait that long again to return. Iceland was the definition of magical, and the light was to die for. And it went on. And on. We put in 16-hour days and grabbed a TON of shots and footage [see...

Let's face it... it's a complete myth that your work will just "be discovered" and that your personal brand just "happens." These are topics that simply cannot be reduced to sound bites and can't be left to happenstance. In case you missed last week's LIVE broadcast of chasejarvisLIVE, we brought on brand luminary Marc Ecko and spent a full 90 minutes uncovering the core principles of Marc's 20-year-long rocket ship of a career...

While in Belize a couple months ago, I took the opportunity to field test a new iPhone case designed for action sports photography + video. (I'm a big fan of field testing new tech/gadgets; see my out-of-the-box successes with the DJI quadcopter---> here). Without getting in the weeds here, let's be honest. We're not aiming for the Oscars with this footage, but I'm not gonna lie... I quite frequently need a little breather...
