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.
Hi there,
Im a big fan of your work and your sharing of everything.
I have a question about starting to take your photography to the next level, to go from a happy amateur to a more professional oriented view of things.
How do you think you should approach that more businesses focused part of photography, for example how to promote a portfolio or to contact a magazine to take a look at your work?
Is it some unwritten law or is it just to trail and error?
Best regards from Sweden

Hi Chase,
Wondering if you could share some tips on what can be used to setup a very, very, inexpensive home studio. i.e 2 Lights, Fill Cards, Soft boxes and what materials and things can be used from a local hardware of department store to get some decent lighting? Would be great for those of us on small budgets starting off.
Thanks a bunch. Love your stuff.
Understanding that you had a client-side digital asset manager, what did you do with cf cards each night? Did you format after ensuring images were backed up, or do you hold on to them until end of shoot and arrival back home before clearing the cards?
Thanks!
Hey Chase! Thanks for always doing these! Hugely beneficial…
I just wanted to know if you still use the Pelican 1490 case(s) to transport laptops?
Any new thoughts?
Keep up the good work!
All the Best,
Nater
On a shoot with many moving parts, who is lessee insuring the rental equipment/gear? Is it CJ Inc? or the client?
Also maybe you could touch generally on your production insurance policy.
Thanks Chase.
