Whew! What a week it was last week… Last Wednesday, I brought pal and photog instructor guru Zack Arias into my studio for another episiode of chasejarvisLIVE. We chatted photography for 2 hours and took questions from the live Twitter audience via #cjlive. Was a blast. While about 20,000 of you caught the interview LIVE–it seemed like I got at least that many tweets/emails/fbook requests to post it again here on the blog, so… As you wish. Here ’tis.
From there, we shipped Zack and his crew into our creativeLIVE studio where he put on one heckuva studio lighting course all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Hopefully you saw the interwebs booming, especially with the @creativeLIVE and #askzack tags. I’m pretty sure Zack swiped some ratings from the World Cup. Or at least we had fun trying. I wanted to give a huge shoutout to Zack and his team for an amazing effort. You guys and gals nailed it. Also a shoutout also to all the manufacturers that kicked in gear for Zack to give away, as well as uber thanks to B&H Photo Video for their support of the creativeLIVE studio and G-Technology for keeping our gobs and gobs of data safe. They support us, please support them. I hope lots of you tuned in. And if you didn’t but wished you had, the course is available for download here.
While I’ve got you, I wanted to ask for your feedback. Not somebody else’s…YOURS. In the comments below, we’re looking to find out a few things with the goal of making creativeLIVE the best it can be. Tell us whatever you want, but please help us by answering some or all of the following particulars about our LIVE, free, worldwide creative education platform:
1. What makes the creativeLIVE approach different, better, worse? How does our class format compare to others?
2. Where do you live? We want to understand the breadth of our audience with the comments on this post. Where are you from, and when are you watching the LIVE feed?
3. Does this live worldwide format really work? This is the important part. What does the experience feel like to you? Can you help describe this format to someone who’s never seen it?
Thanks for taking the time! If you’re new here, I invite you to subscribe/follow via links above and to the right. Lots more stuff heading your way soon on all our channels…
1. I’ts amazing to be able to see live in action a great photographer, teaching us the secrets of his psicology and having the best feel with the worldwide audience, it was great!
2. I was watching from Mallorca, Spain
3. Absolutely YES, it works. Great idea to give us the chance to see it live for free and if we liked it, can buy.
Congratulations to all crew to make this possible, thank you a lot!!

1. Amazing to be able to watch workshop on other side of the world happening live and be able to participate via the use of modern technology. Excellent.
2. I was watching from Scotland.
3. Great idea, I have watched Zack and John’s weekly tutorial and have picked up lots of good tips which I now use in other areas of photography.
Keep up the good work and look forward to the next workshop.
1. Never been to a live workshop until this weekend were I could pop in and out.
2. Saginaw, MI
3. Yup, it geeked me up and was telling people who have no clue what a photography workshop even is and they understood the whole concept.
1. What makes the creativeLIVE approach different? To be online and is interactive is very nice.
2. Where in the world do you live? Lisbon, Portugal
3. Does this live worldwide format really work? Yes, i think so, in my case is difficult to go a workshop widh Zack in the EUA, but not impossible.
4. What does the experience feel like to you? Can you help describe this format to someone who’s never seen it? This is a very nice experience,
1. It was great to able to ask a question during the class and actually get an answer.
2. I’m in Scotland. I tended to catch the end of your day in the morning, and then the first part during the rewatch. Thank you so much for doing that. I’ll be downloading the polished copy, but it was nice to catch so much of it despite the time difference.
3. As opposed to a pre-recorded class, the live broadcast is brilliant. We’re with you as you set up and don’t miss the details so often overlooked when a teacher has set up before the cameras are on. Thanks Zack for giving so much detail. Not being in the room, however, means that I can keep listening while I’m making tea in the next room or playing with my daughter.
Thanks,
Sarah
