Whenever I give a talk or host a show, I’ve heard from this community time and again that one of the most valuable things is the Q&A wrap up. Straight up. You asking questions and me doing my best to answer them. And not just the “how’d you get started in photography” questions…. we’re talking the hard questions, landing clients, hiring staff, working with challenging clients, legal questions, gear questions, portfolio questions, whatever you can muster…
As such, we’re dedicating and entire 90 minute chasejarvisLIVE show to this topic this Wednesday. 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, please frame your questions below in the comments. Don’t be shy. Ask away. Anything is fair game. Whatever it is you really want to know about with photography and video–your questions and the dirty truth.
Who: You, Me + a worldwide gathering of photographers and filmmakers
What: I’ll be answering any/all the questions you can throw at me in 90 minutes
When: this coming Wednesday, February 9th 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
I’ll bring your questions from the comments below onto the show and give you a shoutout for asking your question. You + me, mono y mono. And if I don’t know the answer, I might even make a cell phone call to get you the info you want. You get the point.
It’s free, it’s LIVE, and apologies but this video won’t be re-posted for a very very long time (if ever), so please tune in LIVE if you can. (We’re in a technical gear/podcast/youtube transition at the moment, figuring some stuff out.)
Ask your questions below in the comments. Hope to see you Wednesday. The more people participate in this event, the more interesting it will be for everyone involved, so feel free to invite your photo friends.
1. How do you edit on the road, then get the project from the road aperture library, to the one in studio, while allowing for original adjustments to be changed.
2. Where do you shop for clothes? (your style is intriguing) 😛
I like to shoot outdoors, I would like to get an office/studio like yours one day. When is it the right time?!
another thing, how about having future CJ Live sessions in the evening, when we at back at home away from work 😀
#2: Whats the best way you could critique “our” work? Does CJ ever do that?
What techniques do you use to build a strong rapport with your photo subjects and to get them to feel at ease in front of the camera? For example, in your Seattle 100 book, everyone looked very at ease, and some even looked like they were having a great time. Do you give them instructions to do certain actions other than just the basic posing to get a more dynamic image?
Hi Chase,
What’s your advice to people starting out with portrait photography and on a students budget where lightning gear is very very limited? Natural light?
Also, got a quick DIY tip on making a good white seamless background without an expensive stand and paper?
