In a jet-lagged haze working abroad last week one of those reminder alarms hit my computer desktop while I was buried in some email that said, "Twit Photo 1pm". After a moment of confusion, I realized it was a leftover reminder from a year ago when I was interviewed by Leo Laporte and Catherine Hall as a part of their popular web photography show, Twit Photo. I meant to share it way back... read more ›

Jerard here from Chase's crew. One of the things I've noticed working on the CJ Team over the years is the serious lengths Chase will go to for a specific perspective.

If you're a filmmaker or a photographer and this doesn't make you want to create something original - I don't know what will. Ad Age Reports: Neal Arthur, managing director at Wieden & Kennedy, contrasted the spot with other liquor ads... read more ›

Hi friends, Megan here - I'm Chase's primary on-staff producer. We just wrapped up a commercial shoot for a major sporting goods company and it required a monster amount of production.

First, as you... read more ›

Welcome back to a series of posts I’m calling Emerging Talent – where I’m spotlighting the work of photographers and filmmakers on the rise. Some are shooters that me and my spies will uncover from 500px or Flickr – others might already be shooting campaigns, but in both cases I don’t care about what the “industry” says. This is simply work I like. I... read more ›
