Cinematographer | Video Producer LA & San Francisco Based | Available for Projects Nationwide Hi, I'm Ryan, a professional cinematographer and video producer based in Los Angeles and San Francisco. I specialize in cinematic, story driven video production for brands, businesses, and organizations. My core focus is corporate and brand video production, and short form social media content built to drive real engagement and ROI. This includes corporate interviews, training and internal communications content, branded content, and rebrand launches. I also produce documentaries, live events, and commercial style productions. I focus on creating visuals that feel intentional, polished, and clear, while keeping the production process efficient and stress free for clients. I'm known for being easy to work with, communicative, and reliable both on set and in post production. Whether I'm operating solo with a full kit or collaborating as part of a larger crew, I prioritize clean execution, smooth workflows, and consistent creative results. I don't just show up and shoot. I manage projects from planning through delivery, helping clients translate ideas into visuals that connect with their audience and serve a clear purpose.

My goal is to make the production process simple and transparent while delivering video content that looks premium and communicates clearly.

I have over a decade of experience in film and video production, digital content creation, and drone cinematography. From capturing a romantic elopement next to a beautiful lakeside cabin, to crafting a thrilling narrative about the experience of driving a manual transmission Jeep, I take pride in my ability to grab the attention and imagination of an audience, through both real-world documentary and cinematic fiction. I'm an expert at using my Nikon Z8 paired with a DJI Ronin 4S to create smooth, cinematic footage; I also pilot a DJI Mini 5 Pro to find new and dynamic angles on the action. I have mastered quick turnaround times and seamless editing workflows using Davinci Resolve, and use cutting-edge file-transfer software to get footage where it needs to go. From pre-shoot ideas to on-set adaptation to editing bay polish, my experience and confidence shines in every aspect of the media production pipeline. Whether you have an event coming up that should be remembered forever, or a narrative experience that the world needs to see, I can help you stay in the moment and capture it in time.

Covering both Las Vegas and Los Angeles, I specialize in Real Estate photography and aerial video, Las Vegas Convention videography, Fashion photography, Product, Lifestyle, and Tourism photography. After two decades of working in Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Spain, I decided to open my business ARC2RUS® in 2018. My creative vision, mixed with your branding and marketing goals, is a direct path to success. My style tends to be minimalist, featuring clean lines and angles, as well as vibrant colors that effectively emphasize the story. Canon USA has called my work "An excellent use of color theory." **Due to poor mobile internet service in major Las Vegas convention halls, hours cannot be logged through the Upwork app. Therefore, hourly contracts will no longer be accepted. I will only consider flat-rate jobs with milestones in those situations. * BA degree from Arizona State University, College of Fine Arts * Canon Professional Photographic Provider * Fast and reliable deliverables * FAA Part 107 certified
