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.





Looking back at my old work, I can see that that I’ve progressed significantly. Trouble is, I’ve felt artistically stuck for what seems like years now…
So assuming most people can’t move at the speed of Chase Jarvis, what would you suggest fellow photographers do when they hit that dreaded wall and can’t seem to overcome it? How do you break through?
ps: so glad I got to shake your hand and chat in NYC at the Seattle 100 meet. You’re a cool dude 🙂
How does a photographer become to where you are at right now, how did you get to where you are at right now?
Okay y’all, serious time.
Where do you see Chase Jarvis (Inc.) being in 5 years time?
Creative Live – same question.
Also if you could leave a legacy for the photography industry (as if you haven’t given enough already) what would it be, what would that final nugget of wisdom be.
Thanks, Mark
Dear Chase Jarvis, your are THE best : )
Please i need your help in BUDGETING? how do you budget a photoshoot? whether it is architecture,portraiture or compositing images. PLEASE HELP !!

P.S: if your not renting gear, how do you include the price of your gear in your invoice?
Thank you for your time : )
Hi Chase,
what a great idea to do this!
I’d like to know about some legal issues – when do you need to get releases and consent forms from people in your photos – and how do you go about it?
For example – if you take a picture on the street with people passing by, and then post it on the internet for the rest of the world to see it. Do you need permissions and consent forms in such a situation?
And it would be great if you would post some kind of resume of #AskChase – wish I could see it live but I have to work!
Best regards
Anne-Marie
