Steve Groves has been randomly selected – and he scores the 1:1 with yours truly, $500 from Adorama and the entire PhotoWeek 2014 from CreativeLive.

I can point to a handful of in-person meetings that changed the trajectory of my career in photography. It’s with that in mind that I’ll ask if you remember the time one photographer scored a private consultation with yours truly + $500 and free photo education?
Well, let’s you and me hang out. Given that a)I think I might have some insights to get you un-stuck in your career / review your portfolio / make some recommendations on approach to creativity and business; and b)the last giveaway was a hit; and c)it’s frickin Photo Week right now… we’re going in for round #2. Yep – I’m giving away another 60 minute 1:1 consultation with yours truly, along with $500 from Adorama, plus all of Photo Week from CreativeLive which is 6 days worth of photo instruction from many of the world’s top instructors. How to enter? Everything you need to know is right here …
HOW DO YOU WIN? Once again, we’re using our favorite widget app to collect all of your entries. It does a few things really well:
1. manages all entries into a completely secure database and properly randomizes a winner
2. gives you info about how much time is left in the giveaway / how many entries there are etc
3. allows you to earn extra entries by participating more deeply in the community (tweeting, sharing, reading posts, etc.)
WHAT THE WINNER GETS.
1. A personal consult with Chase Jarvis. You know the drill. If you’re local to SEA or SF, we can do lunch or whatever. If you’re remote it’s a 60 minute Skype call, Google Hangout, or phone call with yours truly. We can talk about anything and everything under the sun — big ideas, portfolios, what your favorite lens is, how to start that business you’ve been meaning to start, etc. Or my favorite flavor gummy bear. You decide.
2. Gear. Adorama are being their usual badass selves and giving me $500 cash (gift card) toward anything on their site that I get to give to one of you. Ideal for helping you get that new lens, body, drone, or even sweet gear for mobile photography.
3. Education. CreativeLive is kicking in ALL of the classes from PhotoWeek — the world’s largest photo education event via best experts in photo & video education. If purchased separately, these courses would add up to more than $800 bucks.
To enter just fill in your info below and follow along. And note: this giveaway is live TODAY all the way through Sept 29th. Winner will be announced on Tuesday Sept 30 via my social feed and email.
Good luck to all who enter! I can’t wait to chat it up with the winner and give out a handful of rad prizes. Hit me up with any questions or notes below or on Twitter, Facebook, & G+.
Yo Chase, you briefly mentioned something about Apple Aperture in the Google Hangout, can you expand on that? What are your plans as Apple is not continuing to develop Aperture?
thanks!
I have recently been introduced to your work and career history by some talented friends and all I can say is … it is so heart warming to see someone take their success and love for a craft only to give something back to the world that inspires him. This contest is just a small example of that. With that said, the chances of winning are becoming smaller and smaller by the entry. Discouraging? NO. But, I thought the chances of you possibly sending a birthday email or a random birthday phone call to a friend who is inspired by your work and dear to my heart might be statistically and realistically more possible? Think I can get you his contact information to make that happen? It would mean a lot to him, without a doubt.
This 1:1 with you wouldbe enough for a giveaway… I value it higher than the rest. One hour of good consultancy can let you make way more than$800+$500 🙂 Thanks for opportunity!
Having had the huge pleasure of meeting you last year, I can say this would be an amazing chance to catch you up on the new agency I’ve started. To chat about where my career is now taking me and how to work on something that is better than just me or my photography – much like you with CreativeLIVE, CJ Live, and other endeavors!
Thank you for an opportunity 🙂
I have a question, actually. I’m a food photographer and when I’m searching for the client, or client searching for a photographer, first contact goes through the managers. This young managers are not taking the final decision, they simply trying to find a cheapest option in the area. Finally decision maker chooses from poor quality and lowest prices, with no awareness that better photographers even exist. So, question is, how to reach decision maker, if they delegate this communication to the young managers?
