Ryan McKenna Apprentice Collection chronicles my life from 2005-2020 and looks to tell a story about the times through symbolism. I took on a series of service-based apprenticeship roles during this time, covering the fields of software, entrepreneurship, media, law, and Biblical Studies. The work was informal but various minor or major objectives emerged during this time. Although not everything from the Apprentice Collection could be considered my best work, there are some higher quality photos available and the purpose of this specific display was not always creating the best possible photo. The objective was to gain a deeper awareness of the natural world, through my own eyes and through the lessons of those that I encountered along the way. For this collection, I achieved this objective by primarily using symbolism to capture the ambiance of those years the best that I could. No one paid me to do this. With that said, I did it all for you as much as I did it for me. Although none of the years covered by the work displayed here could be considered easy, as there were many challenges and missed opportunities too - they played an important part in elevating my personal skills and interests to that of a professional in a variety of fields. If you're interested in the skills that I picked up along the way, you can visit my skills page to understand more about what I learned during this time and since then.

There are over 6,500 photos that haven't been released yet that could be considered worthy of public display for one reason or another. These unreleased photos are a part of other unreleased collections. Some of these unreleased photos will be here soon.

You can download photos in the content section as new collections become available. Soon, you will be able to buy the highest quality prints I have available of each of them and have them shipped directly too you in a variety of formats.

*Note: I'm currently updating and improving the layout and delivery of the photos on this website. Until this upgrade process is complete (hopefully by the end of April 2024), there may be certain features or visuals that are not optimal. If something is slightly off, it is now being fixed. The model for this site is improving every day.
