Whenever I give a talk or host a show, my fav part is the Q&A. Rather than me guessing what I should share, you just ask away. Especially the hard questions that you can’t learn in photography books: landing clients, overcoming failures, working with challenging clients, legal, gear, portfolio questions, whatever it might be. In this year’s first #AskChase version of chasejarvisLIVE, I got thru about 40 of your questions in the 90 min show. This time around, I’m hoping to double that, plus we’re adding another dimension.
The first half of the show will be me answering any questions you can put in the comments below. Rapid fire, as many as I can get thru. So don’t be shy, ask anything you’d like below and I’ll give you a shout out for asking it and do my best to answer with the dirty truth. But catch this: the second half of the show, I’ll have a guest with me. The Associate Creative Director for REI, Jason Sutherland. If you have been ignoring me are new here, then you’ll need to scroll back a bit and read the Diary of a Shoot I just wrapped up, where I chronicled my 9 day campaign shoot with them. Jason will be on hand to answer your specific questions, but also any/all your general questions about whatever you want to know from a client CD/AD perspective. Hopefully this is as good as gold.
Who: You, Me + guest Creative Director Jason Sutherland + a worldwide gathering of creatives
What: YOUR questions answered for 90 minutes
When: this coming Wednesday, April 6th at 10:00am Seattle time (1pm NYC or GMT -8)
Where: just visit www.chasejarvis.com/LIVE
How to get your questions on the show: ASK THEM IN THE COMMENTS BELOW
We will take some questions LIVE via the #cjlive or #AskChase hashtag on Twitter (follow @chasejarvis here) during the broadcast, however, so that we can be organized and get through as many questions as possible, you’re far more likely to get your questions answered by framing them below in the comments.
It’s free, it’s LIVE, and apologies but this video will not be re-posted in it’s entirety, so please tune in LIVE if you can. (We’re still in a technical gear/podcast/youtube transition at the moment, figuring some stuff out.) Hope to see you Wednesday. The more people participate, the more interesting it will be for everyone involved. Feel free to invite anyone you’d like to join the party.
Hey, I would like to move to Florida in the next couple of years, I’m big into photography and going to school for it in PA right now. I was wondering if you know any hot spots in Florida where the photography can get you somewhere, and if possible any good art schools you might know that have good credibility there? Thanks.
Hi! Uzat would like to see if your book is in Russia? Live unfortunately not be able to see the transfer, but we are waiting the release of her record. Whether you’re planning a trip to Russia?
@Chase : How many shot / setups / locations can you hit in one day of shooting photo or videos or both?
@Chase : How many shots can you garantee to your client in a normal location shooting day?
@Chase and @Jason : Any books on creativity to recommand?
@Jason : How do you prefer to be approached by new photographers?
First off, I love your redesigned “Gear I Use” page! Will you keep this up to date and maybe add a few things (e.g. lights)?
Hi Chase and Jason:
I’m a recent college graduate aspiring to be a commercial director. I’m curious about the things that I need to do to be working with multinational clients and corporations. I’m passionate about bringing stories to life and collaborating with others. Are there certain steps that I need to do to accomplish this and make this my career? Also, do I need to be in a certain market to achieve this? Thanks!
