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.



Chase, what are the safe options when an art collector (from another country, far away) insists for the digital file rather than a print?
Thanks,
Guasch
When you shoot outside the US, how do you handle the lingual, cultural and legal differences?
I was thrilled when you posted this as I’ve been really trying to work up the guts to start breaking into the business and simply don’t have a clue about that side of things.
But, day job means I can’t swing this one at all. If you can find any way to get this up online afterwards I’d really love it. This has been the CJLive I’ve been waiting for and I was totally bummed last night when I read the announcement and knew there was no way I could swing the live stream.
You mentioned, “Don’t be shy. Ask away. Anything is fair game.”
Not sure if this might a right platform to ask. But let me give a try. (‘coz I love photography and the amazing new technology in place) 🙂
I am a mechanical engineer by profession, and I would love to work for manufacturers of camera equipment. Can you or anyone give me some leads or contacts? 🙂
(Now was that okay to ask?) 🙂
Best,
Abhi.
Chase,
How do you know when to upgrade your technology (cameras, lenses, storage, computers, etc)?
Thanks,
Nick
