I have been following Ryan Schude’s photography ever since I worked at a skate magazine in San Diego.  It is amazing to see his progression and creative mind expand in just a couple of years.  In a recent Digital Photo Pro Magazine Issue he said ““Photography saved me from the cubicle,” he says. “I realized I must have been nuts to keep suppressing what I really wanted to do.”  I couldn’t have connected more with his words at the time.

“If most pictures are worth a thousand words, the portfolio of photographer Ryan Schude is worth a library. Each image is meticulously planned and stylistically executed, combining wit, mood and humor into visually complex stories. Schude is only in his late 20s, skipping from a business major to art school to auspicious beginnings as a pro shooter. His impressive portfolio was built quickly and at little cost, thanks to a year and a half spent working for a rental house” by Digital Photo Pro
