My background
Welcome to Ryan's Corner!
I'm Ryan, and I'm delighted you're visiting my virtual space. Originally hailing from the vibrant city of Tehran, Iran, I embarked on an exciting journey to the USA in 2008.
With a master's degree in Business Analytics, my professional path has been a thrilling blend of analytical challenges and creative solutions.
On the personal front, I'm proudly family-oriented, sharing life's beautiful moments with my incredible fiancé and my wonderful 21-year-old daughter. Family is the heart of everything I do, and their love is my greatest source of joy and inspiration.
When I’m not immersed in business endeavors, you’ll find me swimming, playing the piano, or cherishing time with friends and family. These hobbies bring balance to my life, allowing me to unwind and reconnect with what matters most.

My experience
Embarking on my journey with photography as a teenager, I discovered my passion for capturing the natural world around me. The beauty of nature always fascinated me, and I found myself constantly drawn to its serene landscapes and vibrant colors.
Whether it was the intricate details of a flower or the majestic expanse of a forest, photography became my way of preserving these moments and sharing their beauty with others.
In 2020, a new chapter began when I relocated to Southern California—a place renowned for its stunning beaches, diverse landscapes, and perfect light. This vibrant environment ignited a spark within me, inspiring me to transform my passion into a professional career. Surrounded by the endless photo opportunities that Southern California provides, I embraced the challenge and joy of capturing life's precious moments for others.
With the ocean's waves as my muse and the forest's mysteries fueling my creativity, my love for nature photography blossomed into a career that allows me to share nature's magic with like-minded individuals. Every click of the shutter felt like an adventure, and turning this dream into reality has been the most rewarding experience of my life.
