  • About | Malcolm Ryder Photographer

    ABOUT MALCOLM RYDER BIOGRAPHY Virginia native Ryder came to Oakland, CA, by way of Norfolk, Atlanta, New York, Washington DC, and San Francisco. He was born into a family of activist artists and university professors. After becoming one of the first Black graduates of the elite Westminster Schools in Atlanta, he pioneered and completed a new degree of his own design in Visual Arts at Princeton, becoming one of its first photography graduates. Beginning in the mid-1970s, he co-founded a student-run theater at Princeton, exhibited as a member of the City Without Walls artists' collective in Newark, then later he developed and ran the jurying system used for making grants directly to visual artists by the National Endowment for the Arts, the NY State Council on the Arts, and the NY Foundation for the Arts. In the SF/East Bay Area he joined boards for the Julia Morgan Arts Center and the Center for Critical Architecture. PRACTICE Ryder had first photographed extensively in the performing arts and sports, while also doing work for designers, documentarians, and marketers. He left this conventional professional activity however, to do tech and strategy consulting, augmented by advisory or board positions with arts organizations, for over 25 years. In 2016 he resumed steady practice as a photographer. When not photographing, he works with other artists primarily in a curatorial or editorial mode, or in collaborative projects fusing camerawork with other vehicles ranging from digital magazines, books, or galleries, to multimedia performances. ​ His current audience and co-creators include historians, journalists, other visual artists and curators, and the communities of the landscapes seen in his photographs.

    PORTFOLIO To see the current featured images: use the five submenus; click here just below, or on the menu bar above. ​ ALBUMS : Wildstyle | Places | Things | Studio | Natural The Works: My photographs, collectively, are a physical and social landscape . In style, they range across a blended sensibility to imagery, grown from: theater and TV; fashion and commercial ads; and, documentary and architecture. When I shoot, I freely apply any one of those genres to any subject, most often spontaneously, which later affects whether and how I group them. Themes: there are two main groups , which sometimes overlap. ​ In one , the pictures concentrate on places, things, and their appearances, in a way that dwells on how the visual environment is "organically" generated by people, and how it sits balanced between complexity and familiarity, whether as surfaces or spaces. Meanwhile, most of the images show something as seen only in some transitory conditions (whether gradual or sudden) - or that in many cases simply no longer exists at all. In the other , the natural environment, whether wild or cultivated, at distance or up close, is featured with intent to emphasize key visual characteristics that I feel the scene is "modeling" for me. For presentation , all of the individual pictures are intended for view without any frames or borders. Rather like a postcard or a page, the image is always already a completed "object" on its own, whether digitally on screen, or as a print. To obtain a copy of an image , browse the sections on this website within the Albums menu, and use the Purchase menu option.

  • Recent | Malcolm Ryder Photographer

    RECENT INCLUDING EXCERPTS FROM THE OAKTOWN PROJECT OAKTOWN is a multiyear survey of the visual environment in transition or emergence, as generated by Oaklanders. Its scope ranges from expressive public or commercial ruins to cultivated private and personal grounds, and from the intentionally avoided to the indifferently unnoticed. It favors the vernacular and rejects the judgemental. ​ ​ ​ In observance of the recent recurrence of killings by mass shooters and police actions, Malcolm's Black Lives Matter portfolio is again on show. To go directly to the BLM portfolio, click here.
