Hi, my name is Ryan Schmidt, and I’m a super passionate creative, photographer, videographer, and overall storytelling enthusiast.

I’ve been telling stories for as long as I can remember. Growing up in Germany and later moving to the USA, I was always drawn to creative expression such as filming everyday life, building websites, or writing stories just to bring ideas to life.

Since I first started building up my freelancing business in 2018, I’ve worked on a wide range of projects, including commercial shoots, weddings, and live events. I gained experience in both photo and video across every part of the process, from pre-production to final delivery. Not only do I have experience behind the camera, but also spent time on set of film productions, as well as show production, helping theaters and concert venues thrive.

Now, I specialize in music content creation. I collaborate with artists to create visuals that feel real, intentional, and true to their identity. Whether I’m documenting a tour, directing a music video, or capturing behind-the-scenes moments, my goal is always to tell a story that resonates.

What I offer

  • Tour and Live Show Coverage
    Dynamic visuals that capture the energy of your performance and connect with your audience.

  • Music Video Production
    Cinematic, story-driven content crafted to reflect your sound and message.

  • BTS and Short-Form Content
