Bio
Ryan Waterfield
I have worked with Ray on a number of occasions and I can say, without reservation, that he is a dream to work with. I am the founding editor of a regional publication (BigLife Magazine) and the Communications and Marketing Director for a non-profit(Sun Valley Community School) in the Sun Valley area. I have hired Ray for photo shoots for both organizations. Not only is he one of the most talented photographers I've ever worked with, he's timely, professional, has a great eye, and has a well-honed instinct for telling a great story.

Ray is an extremely talented photographer who takes direction well and is easy to work with. He consistently provides work on deadline and budget.
