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.
In the early days of your commercial photography, how did you assemble the team around you to start distributing the load of work that needed to be done? And how did you go about finding them?
Chase, you travel all over the world… Ireland is beautiful, but how much has travelling influenced your photography?
Pretend you weren’t Chase Jarvis, but another photographer that nobody has ever heard of. How do you gain customers and sell yourself to commercial clients? What is the best way to gain business when you are new at this and what worked for you when you got started?
Thank you Chase for giving back to the community.
Chase,
Can you recommend what you would consider as a must read book for photographers entering the industry?
What is your best piece of advice on how to get a project published as a book, and did your team ever consider self publishing your Seattle 100 Book?
I know it was asked above but I am curious how you transitioned from a ski and snowboard photographer to a commercial photographer.
Thanks,
Andrew
Does the team get along as well as it looks on screen? Whats the real you!?
