Hi, my name’s Ryan and I am the owner and operator at Ryan Barton Photography. It’s nice to meet you!
From disposable cameras to point and shoots, amateur setups to professional equipment, I’ve been practicing photography my entire life -but I don’t think I really appreciated the value in it until I became an adult.
Like many other photographers I started off taking photos of my friends and family. Silly faces, candid moments, big life events, I was always the guy with the camera. I found I loved reflecting on the photos I took and sharing my work with others.
Once I started my career in law enforcement I realized how precious life really was and how important it was to capture moments periodically, good or bad, so they can be remembered and shared. Photography stopped being a hobby and became my outlet for creativity. Soon enough people were seeking me out to photograph their friends and family, and the rest is history.
My journey has been one of learning. Every day I discover something new, and get a little bit closer to perfecting my craft. To me, that’s what makes photography special.
