"We had the absolute pleasure of working with Ryan throughout the volleyball season, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Not only did he capture stunning action shots and memorable moments, but his dedication went above and beyond when he traveled to the MAAC Championship to document our journey. His attention to detail, ability to capture emotion, and professionalism made all the difference. Every photo tells a story, and thanks to Ryan, we now have incredible memories to look back on.

"The photos Ryan has taken of me and my teammates playing basketball are incredible. My family back in Ohio doesn’t get to come to many games on the East Coast, so having these pictures means a lot — they show moments and emotions you’d never get from just watching the broadcast. I’m super grateful for his work and how he captures the game from such a cool perspective. It’s awesome to have some of my favorite memories saved, and I look forward to working with him more in the future!"

"I’ve loved having Ryan as a photographer around our games. His quality of pictures are unreal and I’m always looking forward to seeing what pictures he’s taken of our team. He’s so organized and puts everyone’s pictures into individual files for anyone who wants it. I think his willingness to take the time to send his photos to players free of charge as well as persistence and commitment to coming to all of our games shows his passion for photography and it’s so admirable. His pictures on top of that are always some of the best out of all the ones taken from games. There’s a reason why his photographs are always posted on my own personal Instagram! Not only that but I had the chance to meet Ryan and he’s a great guy that I know would fit and do well anywhere he went!"

"Ryan's photography work is nothing short of fantastic. He covered almost all of our games (Division 1 Quinnipiac Baseball), and did a phenomenal job. The pictures were crystal clear, and captured some of the games more important milliseconds. I was able to send my grandparents the pictures that Ryan took, since they couldn't see me play live. He's the man! "
