Ryan Padula . . .

Musician photography is a passion. Knowing the countless hours of practicing alone, the feelings of frustration, doubt and hope is particularly interesting to me. I recently had the opportunity to photograph the wildly talented Ryan Padula who is simply a delight to work with. Ryan comes from a musical family and often plays jazz with his brothers, mom and dad. Polite, intelligent, witty and having a quiet sense of determination, Ryan is a beacon of musical hope for the future of music.
