Ryan Meyer is originally from Miami, FL and grew up in New York. He began working in arts and entertainment at a young age, doing everything from lighting to photography, stage-managing, set-design and building. He is a graduate of SUNY Albany with degrees in both in Theater and Philosophy.

Upon graduating college, Ryan was hired by international fashion guru Christian Lacroix to work in his New York offices, organizing and coordinating major fashion shows and events. It was during that time he began to experiment with his own art and design techniques, including photography, finding home for his work in art galleries, on clothing, print ads, with private collectors and on the human body, in tattoo form.

With the need to continuously produce art, Ryan, along with some college friends, started a theatre company in New York City and successfully produced a number of plays, musicals and performance art pieces which eventually to additional work in and TV and film. After getting a taste of what Hollywood had to offer, Ryan decided to “raise the bar” and moved to Los Angeles in 1997.

He started out as a photographer and was hired by various bands including George Clinton, Otep, Mary Mary, Ray Jay and Ciara to photograph performances and aid with publicity efforts. He also gained work handling product shots. It wasn't’t long before he’d get his first job on a major motion picture.

While working art department on a Rutger Howard film in 1998, the department head asked Ryan to sketch a landscape and an electrician asked if he could apply that design to light. Unsure of how to proceed, he took his chances, used his natural instincts and ever since has been painting with light.

Ryan is a member of the set lighting technicians union, IATSE 728. He is someone you can rely on for all your lighting needs, from assembling and leading a crew, to providing equipment, expendables, and beyond. He believes there is a solution to any problem and is dedicated to ensuring the success of any project he takes on.
