There has always been something haunting to me about farmland in the off-seasons, when everything is yellow and wilted, or when snow sits quietly in the trenches that are usually full of blooming crops. Cows move minimally through faded landscapes, and the entire thing has an air of melancholy and stillness to it. Capturing this feeling is not easy, unless perhaps you're photographer Cole Rise. He's our featured Emerging Talent this week. He shoots with...

Hey photo friends, Erik here. I recently stumbled upon Photography Monthly’s article on “The 50 Greatest Cameras of All Time”. I was a little surprised that my beloved Olympus E-P3 didn’t make their list, but I put together this little collection of some of my other favorites with some bits of information about them for your perusal. And whoa are there some doozies in there. The list is fascinating, lots of history and indications of...

I normally don't post or link to my mainstream media coverage here on the blog--not necessarily because of the perceived horn tooting, but primarily because a lot of those articles are just sort of vapid, empty whitewashes with little depth and even less bite. That said, I was just featured in the December issue of Juxtapoz Magazine - one of my favorite art & culture mags, one that I actually buy when I see it...

Last week when I posted the broadcast commercial for REI that I recently directed, I promised a behind-the-scenes vid. So here 'tis -- the focus here on the epic aerial shots we nailed using a remote-operated RC helicopter flying an onboard camera, curtesy of our friends at FreeFly Cinema. Hope you dig it. Also--since a lot of y'all have been asking via social channels--I figured I'd give a second-by-second, shot-by-shot breakdown of the...

60 Second Portrait of uber talented and visionary photographer Chris Jordan. I just love this. [aside: He's been on chasejarvis LIVE here - GREAT episode. His website is here. And if you dig these 60 second portraits, there are lots more Chase Jarvis 60's here.

Someone just sent this to me. "Chase Jarvis has a Pre Production Canon 5d Mark III". Yeah, I guess that makes it true... (guessing it's the handy detective work of Dave @ Learning dSLR video).

I recently got a flood of questions via Twitter asking about developing a personal photographic style, which made me think about a million conversations I've had with my photographer buddies over the years... And I was wishing I had recorded those. And then I remembered that I DID have one that I recorded from an old chasejarvis LIVE with my pal Zack Arias. He's a fun guy, great shooter and very talented photography instructor. Here's...
