Watch Chase Jarvis' NYC Photoshelter Talk
Web 2.0 types that they are, the folks at PhotoShelter have uploaded Chase's entire, 55-minute presentation to the web. Usually, you only get about 3.5 minutes of Chase on the YouTube vids. But he is really worth watching long-form.
Don't get so caught up in all of the trappings (dude travels with a DJ) that you miss all of the valuable experience he is throwing at you. Good stuff.
Better yet: Grover and Allen put the entire panel discussion and the presentation of photo buyer Catherine Talese up on their blog, too. You're gonna need a large popcorn for all of this.
(We had miniburgers, coconut shrimpy things and beer...)
Thanks to PhotoShelter for the extra effort for those who could not be there.

Still can't forget those tasty shrimps!!!
Thanks again DH for letting us know about the event.

It says my connection is too slow :( So much for third world Internet!
Any other sources for the vid?
HA! Thanks for posting David, and thanks for playing down the DJ. It's a fun side note, but hopefully for most of the message is in the air and on the screen and not lost in the backbeat.
Very kind of you and photoshelter to post this for the many Strobists that couldn't make it. FWIW I'll have some more juicy followup to this event on my site soon in the form of a downloadable podcast so you can watch it again in case you missed me screwing up, misspeaking, misspelling or otherwise. But in the meantime, I have a quick favor to ask the Strobist community:
I'm speaking again this coming Tuesday in Atlanta. Any Strobist fans who are DJ's or know DJ's who might be interested in spinning for my gig? My regular DJ Sandman is in an outta town snafu and can't make it. I love having live downbeat playing behind my set. I know it's a long shot, but if anyone can help, please ping me via info at chasejarvis dot com. Otherwise I have to get by with an ipod ;)
Muchas gracias from Chile.
the posting of this video is very apropos of certain recent discussions. thanks.
I enjoyed this. Thank You.
motivating
enough said
thanks
Fantastic.
I couldn't agree more with what Chase said about the old school.
What great recognition for David and all things Strobist!!
What great recognition for David and all things Strobist!!
"I know what I do... I know who I am..." hmmm... then why he has to keep reading his laptop to find out what he is and what he does?
And the music? Come on... I love music and I love lounge music but after 3 minutes I had to turn that thing off...
FG
I've had four freezes trying to watch Chase's presentation. Each time I've had to close the tab and reload their page. Pretty frustrating to have to rewatch the first fifteen minutes all over again.
I went to youtube and had no trouble with seeing any of the videos there. I'm not sure that photoshelter is ready to handle the bandwidth of serving these videos.
I keep getting an "this video is not available currently". highly infuriating as I always enjoy watchin Chase's informative video's
Well, so much for getting anything done at work today... this is FAR more important!
Chase, I'm so glad you are watching these comments. May I ask 2 questions please? Green screen work.. What tool do you use in Photoshop to extract so perfectly? Or do you use Photoshop to do it? Second, would you share the technique or curve you use to achieve that 'dirty' look or 'chromish colored' look like the Lucis plug in filter that appears in some of your photos?
I'm an avid fan of your work!

You don't travel with your own DJ? Dude, come on!
About 5 or 10 minutes from the end of the video, he talks about "RF" when referring to licensing. What is RF?
this is great - inspiring and reminds me that pictures don't take themselves.
Thanks for posting this.
anyone got any clue why I couldn't use PS while this video was running? I was totally confused why I couldn't edit my pics while listening to the video. I thought I was going nuts!!!
Thank you so much David for posting this and thank you Chase for the presentation. I do believe that is one of the best presentations for inspiration that I have seen in a long time (for me anyway). Thanks again
this guy is full of energy and very positif
joel from france...sorry won't be in paris when U come
To Anon who asked about RF -
It means Royalty Free, as opposed to RM (or Rights Managed)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royalty_free
Nick, editing photos is memory intensive....playing a video probably is as well......max out your memory if you want to multitask when editing your photos and you will probably be happier
Thanks for posting this!
Anon:
RE: your question about RF - I believe it stands for "Royalty Free" - meaning you could sell a photo to a client for unlimited use, as opposed for a single specified usage.
Anyone else, please correct me if I'm wrong on this.

Holy-camoly - who is cooler than Chase Jarvis right now!?!
And talk about name dropping - Chase was all like 'blah blah STROBIST blah blah STROBIST'! How cool is that? Chase and David - thank you both for your incredible aptitude for sharing. I'd give you both a kiss if I could - a totally hetero-kiss by the way. ;-)
I'll confess that I'd expected to watch the first couple of minutes, get bored and go do something else instead...
Instead I watched the whole thing through. :-)
Much of interest and a surprising amount of 'little stuff' that bears further consideration (Q&A at the end is very worthwhile, for example).
Thank you both, David and Chase.

Excellent. I'm a latecomer to the Chase phenomena and I'll admit to having a preconception that he would be a bit of a prima donna, but he doesn't seem that way at all. I put this video on to see what the first couple of minutes were like and watched it all the way through.
The new world of photography that Chase encourages us to create is the world that I want to work in, so I guess we're on the same page.
I wish it was possible to hear the audience questions in the video. Several of Chase's answers gave no clue as to what the question was so those parts of the video hold little value.
Maybe I'm a push-over for a gimmick but I like a guy who gives away a thousand bucks to someone who will use it for the community.
Anyway the bottom line is that Chase is a good photographer and he's helping the rest of us to smarten up and get on with it. That gets him top marks in my book.
Thanks Chase!
Great post, ta!
excellent presentation chase. thanks for sharing.
is there anywhere to download this? i'd like to put it on my iphone.
what's the 'ibiza after hours' mix? don't see anthing like that on itunes.
Yeah, I couldn't find the itunes mix either... also Dave, it would be great if you could encourage Chase to answer that question above about the chromish look and dirty look. Cheers Kingsley
Kingsley-
Chase left a comment Friday in which he said he plans to do just that in a future post.
Unfortunately, I mistakenly rejected (hit the wrong button) a group of three comments, which included that one.
-DH
I couldn't hear in the video and I don't see it posted here- what was the $1K winning idea?
I appreciate the fact that Chase was so open in discussing the business. So often pros try to keep everything private, but Chase explained it all. Very nice!
A Huge Thanx to David, Chase, Photoshelter and everyone invovled. a fanstastic presentation by Chase, very motivating and informative.
Congrats to Strobist, lotsa little plugs in there, and shows how much impact on the community this 'little' site has had. Thanks for posting the vid!
Personally, i love Chase's approach to business, sharing everything and knowing that it will better the (and any) industry. A view that is unfortunatly not often shared.
Chase is deffinately a guy who loves what he does and this is perfectly clear in his transparency where his work is concerned.
When I started I approached togs in Newcastle but they were riding around on their High Horses so much that they couldnt hear my voice. Its sad that little has changed here in the UK I have had several insulting emails from one particular tog that obviouclsy see's me as a threat and the language he used was rather choice, all this from a member of a respected Professional Body I had half a mind to forward them his correspondance but to be honest Id feel a bit like a school kid and didnt want to behave as low as him.
Big thanks to David, Chase and all you other strobists out there for encouraging change and advance without petty childish insults, the only way to improve anything is to work together and you guys certainly do that.
***Applause**** To you all
I found this clip very informative and inspiring! It helps to see the ratio of good to bad pics in Chase's photo shoots. Here I thought every shot the Pros took turned out perfect. Now I don't feel so bad...at photography that is. Thanks for the info Chase, and thanks for posting the vid David!
