WHO: Ryan Smith, photographer
Originally from Oshawa, Ryan Smith has lived in Brantford since 1999.
Ryan’s photographic journey started several years ago when he was given a used camera. Since then he has discovered that he has a natural talent for it. Photography also became a form of therapy for Ryan to help him with stress and anxiety—at the time both were at levels higher than he had ever experienced before.
Since then Ryan has taught himself how to use a camera and experiments with it to look beyond its limitations.
For Ryan Smith, photography is not just a hobby but a means to look around him more intensely and to capture moments that will provide a meaningful memory.
Photography has “exposed” Ryan to places and experiences he might not have otherwise encountered and has challenged him to capture the mood or feeling to what his eyes see.
Ryan’s main interest lies in the beauty of sunrises and sunsets and everything to do with this amazing landscape of Ontario. When he’s not working he spends his spare time hiking, reading and generating laughter. He also likes to annoy his wife with extensive movie trivia and impressions of actor Christian Slater.
