Ecliptic Media Photo

History

Ryan Hartford went to film school at the University of Kansas. While in school, he took online classes while he traveled for Sony teaching their DSLR cameras nationally for a year. That sparked the passion for photography. Ryan left Kansas for Los Angeles and shortly after earned an internship at Showtime Networks, which he was hired half way through his internship. He worked there for four years. Realizing he came to Los Angeles to create, he left Showtime to become a photographer. Initially it was all kids birthday parties to make ends meet. Eventually that turned into working with Fender, Amazon, Kim Kardashian, Kobe Bryant, Charlize Theron, and other amazing people and brands. Since starting the business Ecliptic Media/Ryan Hartford has been televised for commercials they wrote and directed, published in magazines all over the world, and most importantly, worked with some of the most amazing kind people that we call friends today.
