When I saw this recent post strike a nerve, it motivated me to share this post from my man Ramit Sethi on charging what you're worth. Today he's back by popular demand to share a simple one-two approach to setting your prices and upping your earning potential. Pencils ready? Okay, take it away Ramit. Thanks, Chase. I recently asked a photographer how she came up with her pricing. She said, “Well... I researched my competition and found... read more ›

I've always loved drones. Been flying them and using them in photo + film projects before the term "drone" was used to describe the thing... way back in fact when my friend Tabb Firschau built them from scratch just to fly his (and my) cameras around. Here's some shots, and here's a few others. Sort of sophomoric work on my part (5-10 years ago) relative to what's happening now, but cool nonetheless given the time... read more ›

Mary Warner Marian's book 100 Ideas that Changed Photography does a damn nice job highlighting some of these shifts. It's her personal take on the most influential ideas... read more ›

My dear friend Lewis Howes recently asked me a damn good question. If you could - what would you tell your younger self? My answer sucked. But he told me HIS answer and I thought his answer was a good one... So good in fact that I wished I'd had learned the lessons much much earlier in life. I tried to write this in my own voice, but since the list and story weren't mine... read more ›
