Biography of Cinematographer Ryan E. Walters:
Born in 1980 in Seattle, Washington, Ryan has had a love and passion for the visual arts since a young child when his grandmother, an avid photographer, took him along on photo expeditions. As he grew up, his parents furthered that passion by enrolling him in various art programs and lessons. While he enjoyed painting and drawing, something was always missing - the ability to capture motion. Once introduced to the art of cinematography in high school he never looked back.
Since that time, Ryan has developed this passion and turned it into his career. As an award-winning cinematographer his work has allowed him the opportunity to travel worldwide in the pursuit of telling stories that are visually compelling. Ryan's distinct experience includes feature films, documentaries, commercials, and shooting for Comcast, TLC, and the Discovery channels.
Not only does Ryan seek to deliver cinematic images for his clients, but his commitment, organization, and professionalism means he constantly goes the extra mile to ensure that the results he delivers exceed his clients expectations.

“Ryan was incredible. He brought his creativity and expertise to our idea and made it happen. Shooting a feature is 50% story/actors and 50% cinematography. Ryan carried his part and brought us his "A" game. We were hoping to just use the film for teaching video curriculum, but after we got to see the footage, we decided to go for a film distribution. We will be working with Ryan in the future. Everyone who has seen the screener has said, "great cinematography".” - Don Jensen, Executive Producer, Dirt Poor Films, LLC - www.dirtpoorfilms.com
