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.




Do you shoot film at all and if so what kind, and what camera / format?
When did you feel you really “made it” in the industry and what did it take to get there?
Chase,
My question stems from this one. How did you break through the hobby and turn it into a career? More specifically, how did you first start making money with your work? Are there more important things to focus on? Thanks in advance for doing this. You are a beast!

How much has blogging about photography and being active on social media helped your business and getting new clients.
What are the things you look forward in a portfolio?
What are the key elements you would like to find there?
great question, DITTO
I too would like to know the answer to this one…
This was exactly the same question I wanted to ask. So two people want this.
Thanks Chase, for this opportunity. Do your magic now!
I want to know the answer to this one too
Hey Chase,
Have you been through any creative blocks? And if you have how did you manged to get through them?
Thanks,
Oliver
Hi Chase, Have you ever been through times where you doubted that photography is the right thing to do and where you were about to quit although being successful? If so, how did you get out of this?
Thanks,
Henry
