More about Ryan:
I grew up in northern Brazil, my childhood a perfect blend of soccer, pet snakes, and swimming in the Amazon River. And stargazing. I took a liking to optics during my undergraduate studies in the US, and later completed a masters in optics in Germany, where I now live. I've worked in astronomy instrumentation, ophthalmic devices, and optical design.
Currently photography is primarily a hobby. I like to capture scenes I find compelling, interesting, or that lead me to contemplate beauty. That's part of what I appreciate about long exposure photography — it makes you slow down. I've experienced some incredible moments of awe and gratitude while considering the stars during shots you see here.
Thanks for stopping by =)
Thank you for reaching out! I hope to get back to you soon.
