PLEASE ALLOW MYSELF TO INTRODUCE... MYSELF
MY NAME IS RYAN KNITTER….. AND THIS IS MY PHOTOGRAPHY PAGE.
AS YOU COULD PROBABLY GATHER FROM THE DATED (YET ICONIC) QUOTE ABOVE, AND THE OVERLY DETAILED GHOSTBUSTERS ATTIRE, I AM A BIT ON THE GEEKY SIDE. THIS IS AN ASPECT OF MY PERSONALITY THAT I OFTEN LIKE TO INCORPORATE INTO MY CREATIVE WORK, WHICH YOU MAY BE ABLE TO PICK UP ON IN MY PORTFOLIO SECTION. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AN INDIVIDUAL THAT HAS GRAVITATED TOWARD CREATIVE ENDEAVORS, AND I HAVE OFTEN LOOKED TO POP CULTURE FOR INSPIRATION THROUGHOUT THOSE UNDERTAKINGS.
HOWEVER, FOR THE PAST DECADE PLUS, I HAVE BEEN A RIGHT BRAINED INDIVIDUAL LIVING IN A LEFT BRAINED WORLD. MY DAYS ARE SPENT DIGGING THROUGH SPREADSHEETS AND LIVING IN EXCEL. AS A RESULT, I AM ALWAYS IN SEARCH OF MY NEXT CREATIVE PROJECT TO SATISFY THAT ASPECT OF MY PERSONALITY. THAT IS WHERE PHOTOGRAPHY COMES IN TO PLAY.
THROUGHOUT MY LIFE I HAVE ALWAYS DABBLED IN PHOTOGRAPHY, BUT IT HAS ONLY BEEN IN THE LAST COUPLE YEARS WHERE IT HAS BECOME MY GO TO CREATIVE OUTLET (THAT, AND PROP REPLICATION). IT IS A MEDIUM I REALLY ENJOY WORKING IN, AS IT ALLOWS ME TO BE CREATIVE IN AN INFINITE NUMBER OF WAYS. I AM ABLE TO CREATE A CINEMATIC SCENE THROUGH THE USE OF COMPOSITE EDITING. I AM ABLE TO MAKE PEOPLE LAUGH THROUGH THE STAGING OF AN AWKARD FAMILY PORTRAIT. I AM ABLE TO PAINT A LOVELY PICTURE BY CAPTURING SUBJECTS IN A BEAUTIFUL LOCATION…. THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS.
STYLE
THE PERSONAL LOOK I INSTINCTIVELY GRAVITATE TOWARDS IS BOLD, HIGH-CONTRAST, WITH VIBRANT COLORS. HOWEVER, MY AIM IS TO NOT BE A ONE TRICK PONY, REPLICATING THE SAME BASIC IMAGE OVER AND OVER. I TRY TO OPEN MYSELF UP TO DIFFERENT LOOKS AND EDITING STYLES. MY GOAL IS TO WORK WITH CLIENTS TO ACHIVE THE OVERALL TONE THEY HAVE IN MIND. I MIGHT NOT ALWAYS SUCCEED IN CAPTURING THE EXACT AESTHETIC, BUT I AM OPEN TO GIVING IT A GO.
