This video was from 2010. I was just starting in photography back then. Now I've been a professional for two years and I still love watching this awesome conversation. So candid. So raw.

Thank you so much for uploading this!

I've watched this video all the way through 5 times in the past week. It's so inspirational.

Thanks for putting it up Chase & team!

Chase and Zack, I totally appreciate this video. Make no bones about it. It's very important to hear this stuff.

Thanks so much guys, I just finished watching/listening to the entire dialogue and I greatly appreciate you two sharing your awesome stories and advice. This is blog worthy stuff right here - I'll be sharing this on mine most definitely.

Amazing...I can't believe I missed this till now. You two are just amazing. I also wanted to say thank you to all who makes this happen. I'm no pro photography but all these videos are just great and make me want to aim high when shooting. Thank you.

This was as close to a 'fly on the wall' listening in to a conversation between two great champions of their art as you're likely to get. I thank you for both for this.

Chase, Thank you for doing what you do. It has inspired me constantly!!

Two of my favs hands down. Not because of their technical prowess, which is mondo great but, because of their willingness to keep learning and growing and then turn around and offer up their time to help people like me who are trying to learn and grow. Thanks to both of you!

This was outstanding. I didn't think I would enjoy this video as much as I did. Great "let your hair down" honesty. And some exceptional advice as well.

This is a must watch for any business professional not just photographers.

This is so candid, I love it!

Thanks guys for sharing positive energy!!! Cheers!

Pure inspiration. Thank you for this!

We're loving the candor & transparency. We thought we were the only ones not happy with the work we're doing, wondering if we can make it, wondering if we have what it takes, etc. Thanks for being real! Love the stories.

Thank you so much Chase, it is nice to see Zack Arias, I have his TheOneLight Workshop DVD, and after watching it I learned the real photography and what its all about. Especially, learned how to feel the camera.

Excellent .. love the format.

Great insight and truly learned alot from this video too!

It's September 2020... This video was shot 10 years ago... The video being released today by Chase and back then are so different... There is so much growth... This is inspiring ❤️

Great show, big fan of Zack's work and approach.

This is some of the best information I've heard about the realities of the photography business! Between what you guys have shared here & what Jared Polin regularly talks about on his show, I, as a photographer still looking to find my place in the industry, feel much more comfortable knowing that I'm not the only one dealing with these road bumps. Thank you both for making this!

Just recently discovered your channel. I work as a photographer in china and your talks and advice have been a real inspiration

I watched the CreativeLive session with Zack and it was completely amazing! ... I learned so much towards lighting and Zack is amazing.. you two are my favorite photographers out there right now and you inspire me to be the best I can be. I look up to both of your work and can only hope to one day get where you are. Thank you for putting everything out there that you do.

Zack Arias WAS kind of drunk by the end! Something like four or five beers plus no food! :) Cheers, Zack

very inspiring...chase, you are doing a great job....so much of learning through your videos...keep it up man :)

Great conversation, very very interesting. Thanks so much for sharing with us!

What a treat! Thanks guys!

Zack Arias - gotta love this guy...

It's always awesome when you can watch two of your role models talk about the craft! Thanks to EVERYONE! That was incredible !

Thanks guys.... great to hear. Appreciate you talking about how it happens. I am having to re-establish myself ( relocated to another country) and have been inspired once again. " i have the old macbook".

just found this video, and i must say EPIC ! ! ! .. as a photographer starting out, i must say really inspiring..

Chase great tips and you are inspiring with your videos and photography! I am a HUGE fan! Thanks for introducing us to Zach!

i love zach, i just discovered his videos like a week ago, weird how this all coming together

Love it, love it, love it--Every damn second of it! I forgot the impact that Zack's "dark" blog had on me! Between the two of you, I have NO idea who else I would be interested in seeing on CreativeLive. Thanks for THIS!

GREAT STUFF!

At about minute 21 you caught my attention. I totally believe in sincerity, paying forward and just being real. Keep it up guys.

Such an excellent video.

I love this talk. Hustle!

the class was great... zack is tireless..... the tips are usefull.... the missuZ doesn't need chocolate..... love and looking forward to the rest..... greatings from belgrade, serbia

What's better than a video with Chase? A video with Chase and Zack! :D

Keep up the great work Zack! I already pre-purchased your workshop :)

Thanks guys.... great to hear.

Awesome Video.

Thanks very much.. you have no idea how refresing is this video for me. means a lot for me... thanks again. Marcos Vargas. Costarican photographer

I love it how Zack reacts to comments all over the Internet himself!

Not sure who disliked this?? Must not be into photography, because this video is just phenomenal.

Great video.

Is my man Zack drinking a New Castle Brown Ale?? my man!! Seriously, this has helped me with my photography. I often seek inspiration from these videos. thanks for what you both do Chase and Zack.

Zack, you seem very real and sincere. A large part of my life I have lived outside of the US in areas of conflict and where people are openly honest and fraudless. I agree that sometimes God takes us another direction to let us learn and grow into where we can actually be useful.

two professional photographers....and this video is in 240p wtf

Please make this happen again! Pehleeease!!!

At about minute 21 you caught my attention. I totally believe in sincerity, paying forward and just being real. Keep it up guys. Sherrlyn Borkgren

This was fantastic. You asked for suggestions on who you can get in future. I have watched many photography videos and IMO the best photographer/presenter/teachers I've seen are: Jerry Ghionis, Joe McNally, Peter Hurley & Jeremy Cowart.

amen

The content--SUPERB, the information ditto, understandability--very great. Worth the watch, ABSOLUTELY. Watching Chase slur his words and eyelids droop…not so much. My only suggestion would be don't be drunk when you do this and post it. Come one, this is a serious topic and our hearts and souls are into photography/media presentation. After watching Zack's video about what is really important in life, this comes as an antithesis to it with drunk delivery, not content. I will recommend this piece to others though. :)

I love it, thanks for everything, and I think that a lot of people(definitely including me) would like to see Joey Lawrence as a teacher on creative live!! :) Ps. If this is not the place for me to bring up a new teacher for creative live, does anyone know where I could suggest one?

Still so relevant today.

Girl in the back is bangin!

hahahah! no joke even at low volume i jumped

Newcastle Brown Ale FTW!!!

HA, Zack's kid in the background cracks me up #ADD

Zack, where did you get your glasses?

can you get hold of Art Streiber for a workshop?

Chase, is there a podcast of this somewhere that could be listened too? Would be great to re listen to it while commuting.

me too lol. I went forward a bit further, clicked right on the next bit of static -_-

Does anyone know what case that Chase has on the iPad's?

chasepad? awsome

thanks for the warning bro, i yanked the cord right on schedule (and then got nuked a few seconds later when i thought i was in the clear LOL)

Why?? It's a chat, what would HD video bring to it?

hey chase! please bring in eric kim!

Just to let you know that your audience is'nt all bright young things..... I've taken early retirement and still have a lot of life in me and am hoping to channel my passion for photography into a career.... No where near it yet but watching these interviews and stuff on CreativeLive I am getting revved up and am chomping at the bit to get started....All the way from the UK!! And yes! we do have an 8 hour time difference so these things often run into the night for me...

what the heck man 240p? JEEZ!!!! HOW ORONIC.

I almost had a heart attack

his name is Zack, not Zach xD caption and tag error :)

"Rick Rowss!"

seriously? 2 hours? :o

I'd like to see you and Jared Polin.

i want Zack's or Chase's iPad

Couple of audio glitches at 1h 51-52 minutes, just to warn you. Scared the hell out of me, listening through headphones on the dead of the night.

I want a "chasejarvis" iPad protector!

New castle?

hahahaha wowie

have you seen zack without his beard? he looks like a completly different person XD

Oh, Zack was definitely interviewed by "Too Cool for School". Wanted to listen to him but couldn't put up with star of the show. More body language!

@dezzux Scared the shit out of me at work in the office!

Research the names they are mentioning. Find your inspiration...

Thank you Chase Jarvis. I am a new photographer (not new to photography as such, just new to taking it seriously), and one of the things I struggle with the most is dealing with the beginning phases of business. Your message of 'keep being persistent and don't give up' is exactly what I needed to get my head screwed on right about the whole thing. It's easy to get caught up in thinking about having tonnes of clients one day, it's harder to get there.

Loved this. but whats zack got against the Alien Bees? They're awesome affordable lights and he uses them himself in his dvd. Chase Jarvis is so annoyingly cool.........i;m not jealous at all ha ha

Top comments are always helpful :D

@usedfilm That's how you're SUPPOSED to do it. By the way, no food, whatever. Newcastle IS food. :D

0:11:43 -- 0:12:24 Do you have to be perfecctionist to be photographer?? I'm not even near to be a pro photographer, but I'm never happy with my pics (my friends likes, though), I'm always seeking for more...

I'm sure this used to be color?? Am and trippin'?

Chase reminds me of Bradley Cooper..

I can't do the math the other way. Because -8+2 is not equal to 6 east of the date line? Dude you're at GMT-8 I'm at GMT +9.5 (seriously .5). So that means that I am 17.5 hours ahead of you (in time - but light years in stylin'). That 17.5 is the difference between -8 and 9.5. So when it is 11am Tues where you are its 17.5 hours ahead where I am, i.e. 4:30am Wed. The math doesn't change depending on where you are, only changes depending on what the plus or minus from GMT is.

zack arias sounded kinda drunk by the end!

1:51:52 about shit myself

Pretty sure I hardcore pissed my self at 1:51:51

how many ipads do you have? haha
