James was my grandfather’s name. He was a singer and musician. Ryan’s Hope was my mother’s favorite soap opera. You can simply call me Ryan.
I’ve always had a thirst for creative outlets. I spent my youth sketching, painting and writing. Funny enough, I thought of photography as a lesser art form. “Anyone can hit a button and take a picture.” It wasn’t until I was older did I really begin to appreciate the craft that takes place behind the camera.
I Am a storyteller at heart. I enjoy the challenge of creating a narrative in a single photo. Portraying movement in a still image, pulling the viewer in whilst building a connection between them and that which they look upon.
This… is my passion.
