About me
Travel Notice: I will be in the San Francisco area from August 21-25 to shoot a wedding, and may have limited availability to shoot a portrait session or two.  Willing to do a TFP while I'm up there if time allows.  Please contact me if you are interested.

Summer shoots -  Please be aware that I am extremely busy this season shooting weddings.  I am currently booked about 20-25 days out of the month.  Because these weddings take priority, any shoots done will require about 3 weeks for editing and delivery of the images on disk.  I can try to rush them out faster, but there is no guarantee.  Please understand that when you shoot thousands of images in a week, there is a lot to sift through and edit, and it takes time.  Other than that, please see below for any booking inquiries. - Ryan

Contact me for special Model Mayhem member rates!  Photographers looking for a studio for rent please contact me.  All inquiries should go to ryan@ryanoharaphoto.com

I'm a photographer who would like to meet models who are interested in expanding their portfolio, and enjoy my ever evolving style.  I enjoy developing my skills and enjoy working with friendly, sincere people.  My style has changed drastically in the past 10 months due to expanding my focus to include weddings, and I'm learning a lot more each and every day.  My portfolio represents some of the range of styles I have learned to shoot in.  Due to being booked on most weekends shooting weddings, my time is somewhat limited.  I am always looking for new people to work with, so please do not hesitate to contact me should you have a serious inquiry. 

I am *not* looking to work with people who just want a free shoot.  I am looking for people who can offer me just as much as I can offer them, people who can bring just as much creativity and enthusiasm on a shoot as I do.  I prefer not to shoot trashy, revealing photos just for the sake of showing skin.  Sexiness in my opinion is not defined by how much of your body is exposed.  If you are serious about modeling, and serious about the way people perceive you, then there's a chance I will work with you in the future.  Let's collaborate and make some awesome images!

Me... not much just trying to keep "on task". got a few things piling up before i break for Japan. Ah, sucks about the shoot with Mark. I was hoping to learn some wedding photography from him. How about I teach you what little Photoshop i know and you teach me about Wedding shots? Deal? lols.

A few months is a long time man! Yeah digital is only for jobs that request it. I just find so much more pleasure in every step of the process of using film.
