  Join us on March 16th to hear about
  Commercial Photography: What the Career Actually Looks Like.
  
  
  In this presentation, Ryan Dunbar shares an honest look at the realities of building and sustaining a career in commercial photography. Drawing from experience working across Canada, the United States, and Southeast Asia, Ryan will discuss how assignments are secured, what commercial projects actually involve behind the scenes, and how perception often differs from practice in the professional world.
  
  Through examples ranging from editorial features and brand collaborations to retail-level assignments and publishing work, this talk explores the middle ground of commercial photography - the working tier where most professionals operate but few openly discuss.
  Attendees will gain insight into navigating client expectations, adapting across markets, and understanding the long-term progression of a commercial career beyond the highlight reel.
  
  This is not a technical lighting demonstration or a step-by-step marketing seminar, but a candid conversation about professional growth, adaptation, and what it truly means to work in commercial photography.
