I am proud to present RyanStrong.com – The Work Of Ryan Strong. I will be using the website as a way to showcase the body of work that I have built over the years of my life. From multiple disciplines of photography, music / film score, motion / video directing and shooting, graphic and web design.
More then likely, unless I’m persuaded otherwise, this blog I AM PHOTOGRAPH will be directly integrated into the website as it is once you visit and this version of I AM PHOTOGRAPH will no longer be. While I love the home I created …
It has been awhile since I filmed a Style Film. Really happy with how this turned out. I used a ND filter on my lens and shot wide open in the middle of daylight. Made for a really nice look.
The music I wrote for this is/was a b-side for a instrumental album I’ve been putting together that may or may not be permanently filed in the archives or surface from time to time in my film work.
Enjoy…

I recently filmed/directed and also scored the music to a recent Style Film by Standard Style for Karen Walker. It was shot in Kansas City on the beautiful Country Club Plaza. The overall direction was just to film something elegant but not too sophisticated that it felt unrealistic. I was very much so inspired by the soundtrack Coco Before Chanel for the music. Enjoy!

The film I worked on for most of last year was produced by the company Milkman Max Productions. They needed an identity and production logo (or vanity plate) to play at the start of the movie, as well as music to go along with it.
I collaborated with Phil Borst and created something that I think is very cinematic or Hollywood, something that prepares you and lets you know… the movie you are about to watch will be of cinematic magic.
Inspired by the greats like 20th Century Fox, Paramount Pictures, and New Line Cinema, here is Milkman Max Productions. …
My recent video I directed and wrote music for. I love how this all turned out. The shots took on a sort of vintage wash to them that I didn’t think would happen, in which I love.
For the music… the main melody is a felt piano with counter twinkle melody by the celeste. I bring in a warm pad of french horns as the glue for the orchestra of cello, violoas, and violins. As the ground for the whole thing are pizzicato double basses that worked perfectly for editing the video.

I recently shot Baldwin‘s Fall/Winter 2012 promotional video for their denim and collection. Along with the cinematography and direction I also wrote and recorded the music for the film as well.
I am VERY excited about film right now and will continue to push myself in this direction. Have a look…

I am shooting a series of short films for Standard Style. They feature some of the latest looks in the store. This was all shot with my Canon 5D MKII and edited with Final Cut Pro X.
I also wrote the music for this video and will be for all of the series. Take a look…
