Snow cats. Flying cameras and world-class athletes.  Couple-o-sunrises. One of the most unique locations I've found in my career (a coal mine?!) and a superfun campaign for one of the top mountain destinations in the world...here's behind the scenes for my most recent campaign to drop --> Aspen. This past March, you might have caught wind of my live updates while shooting the 2013-2014 campaign for my friends at Aspen/Snowmass ski resort. In... read more ›

Flying Cameras On a Budget — My First Flight With Affordable Drone Helicopter + GoPro

chasejarvis_dronefly
Because there are few establishing shots that can compete with the one you get above 250 feet, I frequently take my shoots airborne. Whether it's yanking the doors off a Bell Ranger traditional style or the...ahem...new school way of sending an 8-bladed octo-copter to do the dirty work, if it's outdoors these days, aerial footage is, well, the new black. Neither option mentioned above is cheap, however. I've been paying thru the mega-schnoz... read more ›

The folks at Aspen put together this cool re-cap video - check it out above. Aspen is always well worth the visit, but... read more ›

Day 4 here, coming at you--almost live--from Aspen/Snowmass. We've had an epic previous 3 days...and today the weather turned milky on us. Just white everywhere, with no snow...so we took the morning off which allowed me to wrangle a bunch of behind-the-scenes photos for your viewing pleasure. 30-something photos here from our iPhones, point and shoots, micro 4/3's etc. Big thanks to Andrew, Erik, and Jerard mostly for helping me compile some of these.

Heading into Day 3 during our Aspen/Snowmass campaign, the weather report was looking sketchy.

Highlights: -surprise perfect weather -more work with Chris Davenport, world-renowned skier/mountaineer... read more ›

chase jarvis aspen photoshoot
Yesterday's scout was epic. After waking at 3:55am Seattle time, flying Seattle >> Denver >> Aspen we arrived and hiked our asses up to 12,395 feet of elevation. Sea level to 12 grand in a few hours. Good for the heart and mind - hard on the lungs. Our scout + the weather report (scheduled for perfect sunshine) yielded information... read more ›
