AtEdge. Where visionaries unite.

Those of you who know the book know what an incredible honor it is for our photo of Tumblr CEO David Karp to be featured on the cover of their Macroview 2013 book.

For anyone who is unfamiliar, AtEdge is an invite-only series of publications for photographers to share their work and connect with art directors. It’s a very talented group of shooters that we’re proud to be a part of. Keep reading for a few more photos from our shoot and this beautiful cover…

As promised, we’ve got it right here. Never before on the internet – our brand new print portfolio. Last week we released a sneak peek, but here is the main event, a video flip-thru of the new portfolio. Ultimately months in the making, we have been working in secret on this update since November and are extremely happy to finally share this book and take you on a journey through Chris’s photography.

You might have noticed that we couldn’t show a few spreads in the book. Sorry! There are some photos that Chris makes that we can’t publicize over the internet quite yet but we felt needed to go into the portfolio. No worries though, we’ll post them up here someday.

Again, we owe a big thanks not only to Heather Elder and her team for all of their help, but also book designer Elina Frumerman and the folks at Taurus Bookbindery helping us to make this new book a reality.

What do you think? Are you an art buyer and want to see it in person? Just let us know and we can make that happen… everyone else can let us know @crismanphoto or in the comments. Enjoy!

Whew. It’s been a whirlwind since we last posted a wrap-up. Five shoots, six cities, 1300+ miles in the car, countless more miles flown up in the air, and it’s finally Friday and I can breathe for a minute and catch all of you up on the craziness of the last fourteen days. Between Charleston, Boston, Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia we had a crazy trip, but we made some great photos along the way.

Don’t worry though, I made sure to snap a handful of photos along the way. Keep reading to take a look…

It’s finally here – a new year and a brand new portfolio. It has been almost three months in the making, weeks of planning, days and days of printing, hours of scoring, folding, and binding but we are finished and excited to share the very first look at our new portfolio today. We’ll have more in the coming weeks, but for now keep reading for this exclusive look…

It’s January, it’s winter, it’s cold.

Chris and the rest of our crew certainly get around this country and beyond, but this week we’re back at home base in Philadelphia and it’s chilly. The weather put me in a mindset to remember what we were up to right around now in 2011, when we headed down to Florida for our first lifestyle portfolio shoot. We packed up our gear, as well as some sunglasses and took off to the sunshine state to make some beautiful photos. We couldn’t have asked for a better week, but the pictures speak for themselves.

If I had to be stuck in a truck full of photo equipment with someone, the list of applicable people is very short. It just so happens that I’ve spent the last eleven hours on I-95, with an awesome friend, photographer, and assistant – the one, the only Jared Castaldi.

He’s a frequent face on the blog and a core member of the Crisman team. Jared takes some pretty sweet photos, and he’s got a helluva story that we wanted to share. Keep reading for the full interview…

After our trip to Florida in 2011 to shoot our first lifestyle portfolio, we knew it would only be a matter of time before we made moves and setup another opportunity to make a portfolio of lifestyle photos. Back in the summer of 2012, Chris and I started to concept a fall camping lifestyle shoot. A few months later we had nine models booked, a fourteen hour day scheduled, and a mission to make as many amazing photos as we could.

There’s more to come, but for now keep reading to see the first of our finished shots from last fall…
