ABOUT RYAN

Hello! My name is Ryan Cassidy, and I am a photographer from northern New Jersey. I received a bachelor’s in History and a minor in Anthropology from William Paterson University of New Jersey.

I’ve always had a strong interest in photography, composition, the art of it all, and the capturing of precious memories and adventures. Even as a kid, long ago, you could hear me in the background of home videos asking, "Can I take the picture? I wanna take the picture!"

I enjoy photographing portraits, landscapes and architecture. I especially enjoy the coverage of documentary & street photography. I love the relationship between history, anthropology, and photographing everyday life. I’ve been a professional photographer for 6 years now. I’ve worked in a variety of settings, from freelance event coverage and portraiture, to a few years in the product and studio fashion scenes.

I just recently re-located to Cape Cod, MA in May of 2025, and I am excited to get to know and work with many new faces to help you capture those memories, and make you look good doing it!

MY GEAR

For the curious; I use a combination of analog (film) and digital cameras and lenses from a variety of manufacturers.

For digital imagery, I mainly make use of the Leica M10, along with a Nikon Zf, and Nikon Df. I also shoot with a 2005 Canon 5D and 2001 Canon G2 for those who might like an early 2000s feel to their shoot!

In terms of analog hardware, I primarily make use of my Leica M3 & Leica R8, as well as a Nikon F6, F3, and Minolta XE-7.

For post-processing & editing, I use Capture One 23.
