Published on July 26th, 2010 - Filed under PRINT

The Whiskey Priest, a short film by friend Thomas Rennier. The film is a period piece that takes place in 1930′s Mexico. Stunning cinematography and intriguing script watch the trailer here: The Whiskey Priest trailer and catch a screening. Designing the art for the film was pretty easy when you have great visuals to work with. Minimalistic but staying true to the period and feel of the movie I was very happy with how it turned out!

Ryan Strong Photography Logo
Published on February 28th, 2010 - Filed under BRAND

This mark I believe sums up my work in a timeless way, yet revealing the fashion side to my photography. A modified version of the font Didot was used here. Didot is a common font amongst fashion publications and I felt that as I position myself to be primarily a fashion / lifestyle photographer, this represents that.
