Artist Bio

Light, shape, color, and texture on the face of an ocean wave are what draw Ryan into the sea with a camera anchored to his wrist. Originally a skateboard photographer, Ryan took that intimate knowledge of movement and speed, and made the seamless transfer to ocean. Being born a mile from the sea, he hasn’t wandered far from it since. Bobbing around, all seasons of the year, has allowed him to capture moments that ultimately would have gone unnoticed.

Artist's Statement

When I first started to photograph the land and sea around me, the goal was simple: capture the beauty. However, something I've realized over the years is that, my intentions slowly shifted over to capturing the beauty and making the viewer say, "Wait, this is Long Island?" My goal is not to confuse you, but rather enable you to realize and appreciate a different perspective of the island on which we live. Enjoy.
