Ryan Rogers is a photographer and director born and raised in Hawai`i and now based in New York and London. His utopic visual style blends together comedy and surrealism to create an imaginative, campy tone throughout his work. His whimsical aesthetic allows viewers to escape reality by showcasing leisure and recreation to a high degree of absurdity. His conceptual portraiture is highly manicured and represents an imagined ideal world. This world looks synthetic, but its overt tactile artificiality is a reminder that fakeness can often feel real.
