My name is Ryan O'Connor

I started RJO Photo in August of 2006 after graduating from Columbia College Chicago with a BA in cinematography (photography for movies). But I have been pursuing photography and photo editing since then. My skills are self-taught, or adapted from what I learned in film school.

The most valuable things that I can offer you are reliability, respect, and professionalism. Because this is my full time job, I take it very seriously and I do everything possible to make sure my clients are happy with my work and my work ethic.
