Ryan Hill

I help brands craft authentic stories by capturing the beauty in everyday moments and celebrating the resilience of the human spirit.

As a director and cinematographer, I've navigated storytelling in some of the world's most challenging locations. Surviving a near-death experience in Chad and overcoming an IED blast in Afghanistan while embedded with the Green Berets for National Geographic reshaped my perspective. They taught me the value of slowing down, appreciating life's quieter moments, and finding beauty in everyday interactions.

My work has been honored with a Sundance Cinematography Award and contributions to Emmy-winning projects, but the heart of what I do lies in uncovering universal human experiences, communities uniting in adversity, raw moments of vulnerability, and quiet acts of strength and resilience.

My wife Danielle and I founded Still Life Projects to bring our experience to brands and agencies seeking honesty to forge meaningful and lasting connections.
