Photographer Ryan Craig: a self-portrait.
When I compare myself to other photographers, I can’t tell if I’m falling back or gaining steam in this competitive industry. I’m currently finishing a Photoshop class at the same community college where I first studied the zone system eight years ago. I really enjoy shooting photos, and I think that’s why I still do it. To this point, I think I’ve spent more on travel and gear than I’ve made back. But that’s not why I’m interested in photography – or why I spent countless hours in the darkroom in college. I love the learning curve and the different ways I can choose to frame things even when the scene is no different than the first ten times I saw it. Photography is an absolute passion, and it’s exciting to think about the possibilities in the future.
Without question, I love the opportunity to travel and open my eyes to all the unique cultures out there. Bringing photos home and sharing stories has become an addiction.
Feel free to contact me if you like what you see…Oh, and if any companies out there need a staff photographer, I’m your guy! Thanks.
