Update: The show was amazing as Gary V brings brought the heat to discuss how you can break through the noise of the internet and get your work noticed. Are people not clicking on your photos? Are you you getting lost in the detritus of the internet? Gary dropped the serious know-how. And he sat on my lap. That was a first for the show. Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook his new book that does... read more ›

A few years back you may recall I dove head-first into a project that explored my home city of Seattle. I interviewed, photographed, and filmed the movers, the shakers, and the changemakers to better understand the culture of my city's beating heart. 106 influencers in total, across almost every creative discipline -- music, food, theater, athletics, activism, education, you name it. I went on to publish a 250 page fine hardback fine art book, gallery... read more ›

So you just dropped an entire month's pay on a super nice camera body. Ok. Take a breath. That was a big jump, and we want you making smart moves going forward. Yes, the lens is important. And yes, you can spend 10x what you just spent on a body on good glass. But before you go cashing in that 401k to buy one of each (dear god don't), soak in the knowledge below. We... read more ›

You’ve heard the drum beat for a decade – ever since the innernets really started popping… “content is king”. As a content creator (both in front and behind the scenes) this has, of course, always made me feel great about my chances to succeed in cutting through the noise online. Pump out good content and you can make your mark. Welllll, I’ve come to know that this target is a moving one…and that, while content... read more ›

Wow. Two new cameras on my blog in one week (here's the other one). I've never been a gear whore and don't like dedicating too much real estate here to it, but I do like me some of these compact cameras. So here we go - quick like. Nikon got the aesthetics right, that's for sure. If it does nothing else, the new Nikon Df is going to make you look like a legit photographer... read more ›

The field of affordable mirrorless cameras is widening, even as the gulf in quality between said cameras and DSLRs narrows. I've gone so far as to call them DSLR-killers in the past. A little tongue in cheek there, but wrapped in a nice dose of optimism. On the whole these rigs are lighter, more compact and pack a decent punch. They're definitely the bomb for for street photographers and the kick the shit out of... read more ›

Just stumbled on this image of yours truly working for an advertising photo down at Smith Rocks, OR a few years back. I don't do a ton of climbing photography - it's pretty damn specialized - but when I get to, it reminds me a whole lot of why i like to climb. It really focuses your attention on the task at hand. While the handful of support crew who help make these shoots possible... read more ›

You know I'm a fan of all things GoPro Hero 3+ since it dropped earlier this month. This vid is another reason to dig it. Tyler Johnson of GoPro uses an array of 24 GoPro Hero 3 cameras to film fire breather David Kelley doing his thing. And who doesn't love a GoPro array. We did one a short while back in this vid (see if you can spot it)...but this is a... read more ›

Let's face it... it's a complete myth that your work will just "be discovered" and that your personal brand just "happens." These are topics that simply cannot be reduced to sound bites and can't be left to happenstance. In case you missed last week's LIVE broadcast of chasejarvisLIVE, we brought on brand luminary Marc Ecko and spent a full 90 minutes uncovering the core principles of Marc's 20-year-long rocket ship of a career... read more ›
