Ryan Zipp
New England Photographer
Bio:
Ryan Zipp grew up with a camera in his hand from a very young age, long before the days of digital, due to accompanying his professional wildlife photographer father Jim on trips all over. After high school his involvement in music took him away from photography and traveling the country with a pair of drumsticks in his hands instead. Early in the formation of his group Beach Avenue, that appeared on NBC's “America's Got Talent” in 2014, he purchased his first DSLR to film videos for the band and it also ended up reigniting his love for photography. In 2018 he began to fully pursue photography as his main creative passion and has not looked back ever since. Based out of the coastal town of Guilford, CT, Ryan can be found adventuring all around New England throughout the year capturing the beauty of each season in this amazing historic region of the country. Sharing these journeys through the eye of his camera has equated to a loyal following that is approaching 25,000 on Instagram who love following along virtually everywhere that he goes. After seeing how much his followers also enjoyed seeing the properties he was staying at, local coffee shops that he would frequent for a morning wake up, the best area restaurants and of course where to get the freshest lobster roll, Ryan decided to officially fully incorporate these into his trip recaps as well.
He has been officially working & collaborating with properties, brands & even state tourist agencies to create content for them and spread the word using his New England based following. Some of these include Visit Maine (Maine Office of Tourism), New England Inns & Resorts Association (NEIRA), 250 Main Hotel (Rockland, ME), Hammetts Hotel (Newport, RI), “Cape So Hard” (AirBnb in Yarmouth, MA), New England Brewing Company (Woodbridge, CT), Long Wharf Supply (Westport, MA), Baird Farm Maple Syrup (Chittenden, VT) and many more!
