Jason Ryan

Jason Ryan is a Phoenix, Arizona-based cinematographer and director. His films are distributed in the US, Australia, New Zealand and Japan, and his work has aired on PBS, SPIKE, OLN, FSN, CMT, GAC and FUEL. While he has directed short films, short documentaries and commercials, he specializes in directing music videos and action sports films. The main goal in Jason Ryan's cinematography is to collaborate with the director to develop a look and move the camera in a way that will best inform the subject material. While the technical aspect of cinematography is very important, the artistic aspect is even more important. The mark of a true professional is consistency, and his work is consistently artistic and high quality. He combines his knowledge of art history, life experience, observance of light in nature, thousands of hours of shooting film, video and stills, study of the work and methods of the world's best cinematographers and his emotional response to what he's shooting to produce a strong, original visual voice.
