WHO IS RYU?

My name is Ryu Gates, a born and raised Houston native. My photography journey started back in 2013 when I started viewing the world in a different light and finding beauty in things that most people wouldn’t take a second glance at. I call my Sony camera my good eye. It opens up a whole new world for me and allows me to see and translate the world as it is. It also creates an avenue for me to share my perspective of the world and to give others a quick glance into the way I view everything around me. I try and find the most normal things to photograph and turn it into art. It’s really made me realize how much we take for granted in this world.
