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.
My biggest question at this stage of my career is how to land clients from afar? Meaning if you’re not located in a big metropolitan city and you’re looking to get into big time/budget commercial and editorial work, how do you land that clientele if at all possible. Especially since it is hard to get representation if you’re not already an established big time name.

Hello, Chase!
I recently discovered the joys of HD dSLR video filming. Any quick tips on the camera settings or techniques? Videos I take tend to be bland in color and mediocre in sharpness (no postprocessing applied) in comparison with yours ))))
Thx!

Quick one: I’m looking for a ballhead, which is your favorite?
You obviously have a lot of people that look up to you. Do you have any modern photographers from which you draw inspiration?
I am really interested in this as well. Who are your personal inspirational photographers?
Insurance!
How do you deal with health insurance for yourself and employees (I’ve always had health insurance through my employer).
Equipment insurance…as I’ve started to acquire nicer equipment, I’ve gotten more gun-shy of taking it to actually USE it…since it could be stolen or broken.
Any details or suggestions on these would be very helpful!
I’d also be great if you could gear the answer towards a novice/hobbyist (so limited budget) looking to eventually make the leap to pro.
Sorry for the boring, (but I think important) question….I’m sure there will be plenty more interesting/creative questions.
Thanks so much!
this is definitely a great question and one i have been wondering also. I hope he answers it! =)
