Born in Torbay in 1989,  Ryan studied for a BA (Hons) in Photography at the University of Plymouth in 2018. Ryan has always been interested in the social dynamics of human behavior and interaction, and working as a youth worker has allowed Ryan to witness these dynamics first hand. Throughout his photography career, Ryan’s aim and passion have been to capture moments to express through images, taking influence from Dougie Wallace, Nick Turpin, and Bruce Gilden; professional photographers who have shaped how to capture social behavior through contemporary documentary and street photography. Ryan has also achieved a Licentiate Member with The Royal Photographic Society.

Ryan has recently had his "Straight Outta Plymouth" book published by a fistful of books. 

Returning to education reignited his passion for photography and making meaningful documentary projects. Ryan has been published in Digital Camera and Devon Life magazines, runs street photography workshops, and writes advisory and topical blogs. Ryan has been a part of exhibitions in London and internationally, with plans to be published in street photography books internationally.
