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.
Your a guy big on social media and a likes. Ever fancy doing something for this http://picbod.org? or some sort of Live feed for Photography/Media Students at Coventry about your work and career?

What about being a creative is most frightening to you?
How do you face/overcome that fear?
When your out making photographs what is it that ‘makes’ an image. I mean everyone has the ability to go out and take pictures, and I’m sure that a handful have taken a few that really hold some merit even if they were purely accidental.
I believe that heres a level between amateur and professional grade imagery, and people may be on either side of that line without knowing it. So where does that line fall?
Is it that others judge this, or is it a personal feeling.
Chase,
How do you find corporate clients? Does Nikon, Sandisk, REI etc. contact you, or do you pitch an idea to them? How did you first establish these relations? For less experienced photographers, how would we start making local connections with corporations that need photography work done?
Thank you,
Chris
How do you get the first break into the commercial world. Considering having done a wide range of portfolio of photography work as hobbyist, how do we take it up to the next level and where do we start.
