Meet March's Member Artist, Ryan Prenger

Look for Ryan Prenger's art featured on City Market's Member Artist wall. Ryan has been interested in photography since his high school years. It became clear to him at an early phase of his photographical life that taking pictures held a unique opportunity for an unartistic person to pose as an artist.

After graduating college, Ryan threw his piggy bank at the idea of buying a digital camera and has spent the last two years teaching himself about photography without film. Ryan takes a simple approach to his photographs. He doesn't think much of over-editing or PhotoShopping an image, so his photographs are minimally edited after being taken. He believes good photography is done with a camera, not a computer.

In March of 2010, Ryan launched his own website, PearlToMoonPhotography.com, where you can take a look at (and buy, if the mood should strike) prints of his. He was also lucky enough to have been given the opportunity to photograph two weddings in the summer of 2010, and will be shooting three weddings this summer.

So, if you are looking for a mildly skilled but cheap alternative, feel free to contact him at ryan.m.prenger@gmail.com. Thanks and Ryan hopes you enjoy his work.
