Words from clients & colleagues

  • "I had the absolute privilege of working with Ryan on a feature film. Shot after shot, I was blown away by how Ryan was able to create and capture such distinct, compelling visual moments that told and propelled the story. Shooting over 100 pages in just 7 days was a huge challenge, but Ryan's vision, focus, diligence, work ethic, and professionalism never faltered throughout the week. Importantly, he was just such a pleasure to work with and be around. I would jump at the chance to work with Ryan again on any project!

  • "Ryan is a uniquely talented Director of Photography. He's skilled at shaping light and using the tools and cameras at his disposal to create beautiful imagery. But the thing that really sets him apart is his ability to remain hungry and teachable. He is constantly learning, asking questions, and absorbing every bit of knowledge he can. That desire to constantly grow and learn makes him not just an amazing student, but a great teammate, leader and crew member. Ryan is the kind of guy you can hand a job off to and know it will not just get done, but get done exceptionally well."

    — Jake Featherstone - Director/Producer

  • "Ryan is a joy to work with and is easily one of the most talented DP's I've ever seen work. He's knowledgeable, a quick learner, and a problem solver. He can take a micro budget and get huge budget results. Seriously, stop shopping around for other DP's and hire Ryan."

From the very beginning I have always been extremely impressed with Ryan's attention to detail, work ethic, writing expertise and talent. There are a handful of people I would recommend 100% and Ryan is easily top of the list. He is so well rounded in his knowledge and expertise both on set and in post production. From lighting to camera to sound to editing, Ryan can truly do it all. I recommend and love working with Tiger Trap Media!
