Ryan Montgomery

I'm Ryan Montgomery. I've been an actor and photographer in the Bay Area for a little over 10 years ago, and I decided to pick up the camera and start shooting. In that time, I've photographed many actors, artists, and theatrical productions as well as engagement and wedding photos. I bring my experience connecting with people of all kinds to my portrait and event work. I've worked for companies like American Conservatory Theater, TANTA Productions, University of California Berkeley, SF Follies, and 3 Wise Monkeys. My photography has been featured in the San Francisco Chronicle, The Examiner, Bay Area Reporter, Contra Costa Times, Theatre Bay Area Magazine, RayLi Magazine, SF Weekly, and the San Francisco Bay Guardian as well as many brochures and websites. This year, I was chosen to be the photographer for massive portrait projects by both the Berkeley Police Department and the Berkeley Fire Department. Recently, I took portraits of Celebrity Chef Chris Cosentino from Food Network's 'Chef vs City' and 'Best Thing I Ever Ate.' I've started taking headshots and press photos for over 10 years. Over the years, I've developed a style of shooting that is both dynamic and interactive. I use my years of involvement in the theater to identify with my clients and put them at ease as well as create images with impact. Over the years, I've worked with clients of all kinds for all occasions.
