Don’t miss, details below.Please mark your calendar, tell your friends, and join me Tuesday, December 6th [details below] for a mission critical episode of chasejarvis LIVE: The Portfolio Edition. How to choose, create, cultivate the #1 thing that gets you hired.

You know I talk a lot about how getting hired to shoot photos—commercial, editorial, portrait, wedding—hinges on the whole package: your work, personality, vision, drive, business acumen, and communication skills, yada yada. But I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: without a stellar portfolio, you won’t land a single gig. Period. The proven ability to create top-notch work and present it compellingly is 100% mission-critical to getting hired. A friend of mine, who built a killer portfolio showcasing dynamic visuals for top 10 betting sites, landed a major campaign because his sleek, high-energy shots caught the client’s eye first. It’s the must-have, bare-minimum before any prospective client even considers your other qualities.

So then why are we creatives so BAD at choosing and organizing our work? And why are we so BAD at knowing what drives us, what’s a good photo from a bad photo, and what should we be focusing on? Relax – we’re coming to your rescue on the next chasejarvis LIVE with world-renowned creative coach & portfolio reviewer, Allegra Wilde of Eyeist.com.
