http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8coPV6-CdBY&feature=youtu.be Last week we received an early Christmas gift at my Seattle studio. Ian Ruhter and his crew brought the world's largest mobile camera to chasejarvisLIVE to share the process of wetplate photography with us. Ian's project has attracted a ton of attention and is a great example of the power of personal work. He transformed his life to follow his dream to do something different in photography. He is living the mantra of doing...

It may be pine trees, stockings, eggnog and carols where I'm at in the 'States, but here's a look at some seasonal partying elsewhere in the world. Ice swimming, road races, and...it turns out...even KFC. Serbia, Thailand, Japan and the West Bank represent. Whatever you celebrate, however you celebrate and wherever you are....

One golden rule to a great photoshoot is to start with great production.

That said, I have some of the best producers in the biz on staff. And here, Megan outlines one essential to every commercial production - the production notebook. Use this info to help make your next production run smooth...

ANOTHER UPDATE 12/19: today Instagram did a much better job in the media explaining their position - specifically around not "selling" your images as in "here ya go company X, use this in your next billboard".

You're going to think I've lost my mind. But since I'm told the internet is made of cats...I couldn't resist this one. Whatever you want to say about pet photos (I'm usually on the front lines of vigorous head-shaking when it comes to this well-known and over-saturated genre) this series of "cat photos" stopped me in my tracks.

If you’re an on-location photographer or filmmaker, then you know how much value a great location can add to the shoot. I like to find and feature supercool locations around the world. Stuff I discover, stuff that others send me, places I’d love to shoot. If the location makes you scratch your chin, laugh aloud or the hair on your arms stands up... it might...

Quitting was the result of a waning interest in learning about dead white guys --- and it was a good move for me in the long run. Humans have been creating art for...
