Ryan Scheer

Ryan Scheer is a photographic artist based in Steamboat Springs, Colorado using photography techniques from the late 1800s to produce western-themed dioramas. Using the Wet Plate Collodion process, Ryan brings images to life inspired by his youth and his love of the Western lifestyle.

Having grown up on Ranches in Colorado, Ryan was lucky enough to be provided with a playground for childhood imagination that seemed endless as the property lines provided less of a boundary and more of a question of what lies beyond the fence. On these ranches, his creativity was deeply influenced by the way he saw the world. There was the dialogue and storytelling craftsmanship that the ranchers and cowboys displayed that created a hunger inside him to be a storyteller as well as grow an immense nostalgia for his youth in the West.

His current collection includes dioramas inspired by remnants of his youth and of his surroundings today. An ode to the days that shaped him and a wink to the west that isn’t rooted in fierce machismo, but in fun and wonder.
