More about Ryan H....

What do you love about your job?

People. When I was in the Navy, my training as a Corpsman meant that I was always put in serious roles. Whether I was preparing to deploy to the middle east as part of an emergency medical team, helping to diagnose a service member's child, or performing surgery alongside as doctor, the time I put into my days always mattered. I knew that when I left the military that I wanted to do something that mattered, that made me proud of how I helped others. Photography has given to that me in spades. A camera is just a tool--what matters most is the connection.

What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?

I have done editorials in ballet, hidden-nook bookstores and in homes of families that have treasured for generations. I have shot on island getaway resorts, laundromats and surprise parties. A photographer's job, to me, is about finding what is special about an idea, a place, or a person, and doing my best to present that as honestly and beautifully as I can.
