Capturing Life in the Outdoors with Ryan Heck

Ryan Heck is an outdoor and adventure photographer based in Oregon. Originally from Indiana, he grew up with a camera in hand and quickly developed a love for capturing the world around him. Picking up his first DSLR only deepened that passion, turning photography into more than just a hobby.

In 2016, Ryan and his wife Heather moved to Oregon, where the coastlines and mountains gave him endless inspiration. Since then, his work has been featured in ads and brand campaigns, and he’s collaborated with companies like Kühl, Carhartt, BioLite, AeroPress, and AllTrails.

Today, Ryan combines photography and storytelling to create content that feels authentic and rooted in adventure. He also shares his experience through workshops and mentoring, helping others learn how to bring their own stories to life through imagery.
