Ryan Chun is a Brooklyn-based director and photographer with a style rooted in instinct, motion, and the kind of texture that sticks.

He first picked up a camera through skateboarding, documenting the world around him in a way that felt personal, a little rough, and entirely his own. That early DIY approach still runs through his work, now shaped by years of chasing what feels honest rather than what looks perfect.
With a background in cinematography and a deep involvement in post, Ryan stays hands-on throughout the process. Shaping pace, tone, and rhythm all the way through. That attention shows up in the final frame: controlled, but never overworked.

Ryan has directed campaigns for Nike, Adidas, Under Armour, Genesis, United Airlines, and more. His work blends a raw visual sensibility with smart, deliberate execution. The spots often sit in that space between real and surreal, pulling from mood, rhythm, and whatever idea won’t leave him alone. He was named a Young Guns 20 winner by The One Club.
