Join us for Metro PPA's June meeting featuring Cris J. Duncan, award-winning portrait and commercial photographer and President of Texas School, as he presents:
The Portrait Photographer’s Guide to Commercial Photography
Commercial photography comes with its own set of rules, techniques, and pricing strategies—many of which differ greatly from what portrait and wedding photographers are used to. In this practical and eye-opening presentation, Cris J. Duncan will share how photographers can confidently step into the commercial space with clarity and purpose.
With years of real-world experience photographing everything from tabletop products and food to architecture and editorial ad work, Cris brings deep knowledge and actionable insight to help photographers grow their skillset and income.
