Cinematographer / Photographer

“A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.”

About

Hey, I'm Ryder — a self-taught 16-year-old cinematographer and photographer who loves to create. I shoot everything from urban landscapes to fast, rhythmic edits, and I love turning simple footage into something that feels real.
