Studio
THE MERLION AT DAWN
Whether needing a match to an existing corporate style or looking for something original with my own studio and full set of Profoto studio strobes I can deliver the portrait you are looking for. Photographing for clients all across China
by Michael Ryan I've lived as a full time resident in Shanghai since 2005. I have a Shanghai wife and two wonderful daughters. These years of experience have given me a thorough understanding of Chinese culture and people enabling me to work closely and smoothly with everyone from CEOs to factory floor machinist to achieve great results for your photographs. I like to bring creativity and artistry to my work while still answering the client's specific brief. For me professional photography is about knowing how to take a great picture in any circumstances by being prepared as much as possible. Understanding the brief is as important as understanding all the aspects of photography and lighting as well as knowing how to interact with Chinese people and avoid pitfalls.
