When you’re only 37 and you’re already one of the most respected photographers in the country (so much that you’re the first person EVER Nikon trusted to test and play with one of their most anticipated products, the D90) and has already won a handful of awards, then you can safely say that you’re a very successful man.
But not if you’re as down-to-earth as Chase Jarvis, a Washington-based commercial photographer who, in spite of gaining recognition from a variety of photography award-giving organizations, is still unsure of whether he deserves such awards or not. Well, if you’ve been given merit by the Advertising Photographers of America (which describes him as an “innovative thinker with his head completely up in the sky”) in Action, Sports and Adventure category for not just one, and not even two, but four years (2004, 2006, 2007, and 2008), or if you’re the youngest photographer to be named Hasselblad master and Nikon master, then we can safely assume that pretty much the whole world will agree—yeah, Chase, you definitely deserve those awards.
Chase owns a 5-person crew (Chase Jarvis Inc.) and shoots for some of the world’s best-known brands. A true visual artist, Chase claims he will go bonkers in a place where there is no photography, music, film, and his wife Kate.
Here’s a video of a sit-down interview with Chase, where he talks about his work, art, and his experiences:
