PHOTOGRAPHER TO KNOW: Ryan P

Edited by Hillary Frazier

I’ve known Ryan Pavlovich and his work for a few years now, and all I can say is each set he puts out is better than the last.  Concentrating on fashion and music photography, Ryan adds an artistic aesthetic to his photographs that I’m sure all of you other art nerds (like myself) will appreciate.  Music is huge in Grand Rapids (MI), and Ryan knows all of the best locations and venues to shoot all of the talent Michigan (and a few other states) have to offer.  I’ve seen him in action a few times at shows and on shoots, and I’m always incredibly impressed with the results. Check it out:

Ryan says:

“I take pictures, live in Grand Rapids, and grew up on loud rock.  Like any other kid, I had magazine photos covering my walls and no idea what I wanted to do besides be cool.  I love what I do, the places I’ve gone, and the people I know more and more each day. I’m still working on the cool part.”

If you like fresh ideas, good rock music, and the carefree attitude that knows photography is an art form, not a dollar sign, check out more of Ryan P’s work on Cult.  He’s also got a site with tons of photos, and a blog with updates, photos, and great entries like this one:

“What ever happened to the time when rock stars where thought of as gods, actors and models where sexy and wasted most of the time, and people actually made music, movies, and images that were worth a shit? It seems to me that maybe because I’m getting a touch older I don’t view all these things the way I did when I was younger and dreaming more, but it also seems as though something has been lost.

Just a random thing I started thinking about recently. I feel that a few years ago I looked up to so many people and now I’m looking at the new batch that is supposed to be looked up to, and I’m not impressed. Call me biased, but I think we need to raise the bar with some things… Just think about it.”

I couldn’t agree more…now go tell him what you think! (And again, check out more photos on Cult)
