MALCOLM RYDER

My photographs are a physical and social landscape, mostly of or in Oakland, initially a survey, ultimately a collective portrait of a place in time.

 

Most of the images show something seen only in some transitory conditions (whether gradual or sudden) - or that in many cases simply no longer exists at all.

 

In style, they range across a blended sensibility to imagery, grown from: theater and TV;  fashion and commercial ads;  documentary and architecture; and, cinema and fine arts.  When I shoot, I freely apply any one of those genres to any subject, most often spontaneously. See Portfolio to browse the albums.

 

See Photoshoots to browse and commission new camerawork for your own imagery such as for marketing, publications, archives, events, performances, etc. as well as for  custom fine art.
