About Ryan Photography

Photography has been my passion for 38 years. I learned my craft through many years of processing film and paper, starting with an old 4" x 5" press camera, and diligently studying and practicing Ansel Adams' Zone System. The Ansel Adams influence exists in my current work.

I provide the artistic vision and detailed execution for my customers' marketing needs. I look for depth, texture, color, balance light and feeling.

I shoot using either 4" x 5" Sinar view cameras, Hasselblad medium-format cameras, or Nikon and Kodak professional digital systems. Most of my recent work is created using a Kodak camera system tethered to a Macintosh Powerbook. I perform considerable post processing to manipulate the images and in general attempt the ideal.

My latest areas of interest are creating 360 degree panoramics for print, web and CD, and, 360 degree interactive virtual tours for Web or CD. I am starting to explore interactive object movies allowing the viewer to manipulate an object as though it were in their hand. Samples are located in the "Animations" chapter.

I was selected to create all the Lambeau Stadium Redevelopment Project photography over the two and a half years it was in progress. The assignment involved thorough interior, exterior, and aerial coverage. I was also selected to create the finished project photos including the first Packers' home game in the new stadium. The Packers' have an 8 foot print from that first home game in their reception lobby.

Thanks for your interest in my creative work.
