Just a little bit about myself:

Frequent traveler to Asheville NC | San Francisco | Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Detroit | Tampa, Miami, Cape Coral | Denver CO | Albuquerque NM | Pacific NW

Debating between a trip to South America or SE Asia starting November 1st 2024. I will update closer to a decision being made.

I've spent a great majority over the last ten years working, managing, and owning several concession company's, which afforded me the ability to travel the US and several countries outside of North America. This travel and life long love for being outdoors and hiking also eventually led to my passion for photography and the visual arts. I have a deep found respect and love for the planet and and spending my time in mother nature. While I was traveling, I also was taking my time in finishing a degree in Environmental Science from KSU. This deepened the love for seeing the world in a more natural state, and has influenced my photography and building a career in my main passion in life. Over the last four years, I have built my portfolio in many genres and style of photography and will always continue to build upon that. Another thing that had made this love for travel even stronger, was skateboarding and all the friendships it formed over the last 25 years.

Some of my favorite things to shoot are landscapes and wildlife, but this has led to me having an extensive list of beautiful locations all throughout the country to shoot. I like combining the natural world, unobstructed by human creations, and combining that with the beauty of the human form. These are some of my favorite things to shoot, but I am heavily influenced by the beautiful artists I see producing amazing artwork all throughout the country, whether it be on social media or in galleries throughout the country. This has led me to shooting and expanding in many genres, although there are some I still have not had the opportunity.

I am based in Canton/Akron/Cleveland area and am free to travel all throughout Northeast, Central, and Southern Ohio. I am also willing to travel to Northwest Ohio, and Southern Pennsylvania, Northern WV. Normally I like to only take on paid work, as this is how I make a living, but am always willing to consider TFP if it will add something to my portfolio. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me and we can discuss rates. I am always willing to work with someones budget, especially after this past year. Being creative and creating beautiful work fuels me and brings me pure joy and happiness. I look forward to seeing the beautiful work on here and in other forms and look forward to speaking and working with you. Thank you for taking the time to read.

Sincerely,
Ryan Murray
