In this inspiring and practical lecture, Ian Spanier, former Photography Director for GQ, Esquire, Marie Claire, and ESPN, and an internationally recognized portrait photographer, shares his approach to building a portfolio that gets noticed and gets you hired.

Drawing from decades of photographing some of the world’s most recognizable celebrities, athletes, and personalities, as well as authoring four critically acclaimed books, Ian will reveal his strategies for selecting, sequencing, and showcasing your strongest work.
