Shooting at the top of the game

Ryan Potts (Rynos.DOP) is a Director of Photography based in China, shooting high-profile talent campaigns for international brands across China, Hong Kong, and wider Asia.

High-profile talent means compressed schedules, no warm-up shots, and a client watching every frame. The technical side has to be invisible. What the talent actually responds to is the room: whether the DP knows what they need before they have to ask, whether there's someone behind the camera worth trusting. That doesn't come from a manual. It comes from time on hard sets.

The work spans China's biggest cultural names, global fashion icons, and Hollywood co-productions. CHANEL cinematography sits alongside independent and international work. On BVLGARI’s Liu Yifei campaign, Ryan worked as 1st AC with director Chelsea McMullan and DP Shady Hanna. Credits vary by project; the individual project pages identify his role.
