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.





Hi Chase, you are always helping people out, you seems to be working all the time. It is true that your wife is working with you but how do you find time to separate work from family time? How do keep thAt same level of energy, never show any dark moment, always ready to go beyond any limits and more importantly, you seem to be happy every single day… Is it because you don’t watch Tv? You don’t have kids ? You don’t watch the news???
Hey Chase,
What do you recommend as a cheap method of getting good audio when filmmaking.
What’s your favorite beer?!
have a few ?s for ya.
1. Do you consider a vacation being home with your wife? lol Does she go with you on most of your trips?
2. Ok, here’s a shot out of a canon. Annie Leibovitz, Joey McNally, Ansel Adams. You gotta assist one, photograph one, party with one. Go!
3. Do you have a dream shoot you want to do? Are you currently doing anything towards that goal?
4. what camera should i buy? j/j
5. Can you teach me how to “Dougie”?
6. Do you have a certain magazine (non-photography) from which you get inspiration from?
7. What are your thoughts on not retouching photos yourself? What I mean is if I was to have someone replace a background and do other crazy things only a graphic artist could do, the photo would not feel 100% mine still.
Joe McNally not Joey lol
ya i was going to put in Joey L put then changed it to McNally without realizing it still said joey.
ahh i did it again. “but” not “put” in my previous post. my keyboard skills are lacking as of late.
What camera should i get to start in photography.
