mainegal says:
"Ryan was one of the photographer at my wedding in October. I couldn't be happier with the photos he took. His photos alone captured the joy and silliness of my wedding day. We were thrilled to have him join us and hope he can capture many more moments in our life."

buckshot.jones says:
"It seems to me most photographers tend to capture Detroit's pain in the decay or or focus on standard chamber of commerce like photographs of the city. Ryan does as extraordinary job in both camps. You will find amazingly beautiful and original shots of the decay in the city and picture perfect, if you will, photographs of the wonderful architecture in the city.
I don't know how he does it, but I need to steal his mojo."29th April, 2008

DetroitDerek Photography ( ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ) says:
"An extremely talented photographer, I don't think he knows how to take a bad shot. He adds life and a spark to every subject he attempts: abandoned buildings, city landmarks, nature scenes, even shaving his own head. You owe it to yourself to explore and discover all the pictures in his great photostream, you will be entertained, inspired, and amazed."

"Ryan takes some of the best shots I've ever seen. Each of his shots capture such brilliant scenes. Without a doubt, he manipulates color and contrast with the best of em. In all of his shots, he manages to create such beautiful artwork. His ability really shines through!"
