Testimonials
“I believe that Ryan’s amazing photos speak for themselves, so I am going to speak to his amazing work ethic and natural ability to capture the moment. We hired Ryan to take game photos of the Woodbridge Girls Basketball Program for the 2021-2022 year. We used his photos in our media guide, senior posters, and the end-of-season video. I thought he would come for a couple of games and whip up a nice video at the end of the season, and that would be it, but Ryan came to almost every game. He came to every Frosh/Soph, JV, and Varsity game. Captured the hard and tough moments along with the victories and fun moments of the season. It was clear that he was trying to capture every possible memory of our season. It was incredible. He worked for hours putting together a video for the end of the season that amazed the whole program and brought sentimental tears to some. He was even able to pull off one of the best videos I’ve seen in just a couple of days because I forgot to ask him to create two videos for the program. He worked day and night. I don’t think he slept much. The video was absolutely awesome! He was our photographer, and he was also very much a part of the program. He started the season as Photographer Guy and quickly became a member of the program - perhaps even the most liked member of the program. The girls wanted to gift him an official basketball shirt so that the other schools would know that he belonged to their program. If you get the chance to have Ryan capture your memories, then you will not regret it!”

“Ryan commands a strong proficiency in the Adobe Creative Suite and web design tools. More importantly, Ryan demonstrated a high level of professionalism, diligence, responsiveness, flexibility, and artistic sensitivity that any employer would covet. He is a creative problem solver whose work benefits from his attention to detail, strong visual sensibility, and passion for photographic storytelling. I believe Ryan would have a high likelihood of success if he chooses to enter the field of graphic design.”
