A Director / DP for ambitious shoots across China & Asia.
Twenty-plus years behind a camera, fifteen of them on the ground in Asia. A vetted local crew. One creative lead who runs the whole production in whatever style the story needs, so you work direct and skip the agency-chain markup.

Shooting talent at the top of the game
Tight windows. No second takes. The kind of shoots where your only job is to get it right, fast.
Why work with me
On the ground in Asia
Fifteen years on the ground built a vetted network: crew, art, makeup, locations, fixing, translation. Twenty-plus years behind a camera add the experience to make a hard, ambitious shoot actually happen, and the structure to run it directly, so you skip the agency-chain markup.
Any story, any style
From high-key commercial gloss to moody, emotional narrative. The constant was never a single look. It's the craft and judgment to serve the vision, whatever it asks for.
A partner, not a hired hand
A creative force with a voice, not a pair of hands for rent. I'm there to win the project with you. "It can't be done" is where the good part of the conversation starts.
Bringing a production to Asia?
I can run the whole thing on the ground: crew, locations, logistics, and the shoot itself, as your single point of contact. No third and fourth agency each taking a cut. You work straight with the person making your images.
How I work with foreign teams →The person behind the camera
I'm Ryan Potts (Rynos), a Canadian Director/DP based in southern China. My mother flipped houses, so I was the new kid in more than a few schools growing up. I learned early that home is something you carry, and that you can build something real with almost anyone, almost anywhere. Twenty years on, that's still the job: drop into a new place, a new crew, a new story, and make it sing. These days that runs from Shenzhen, Shanghai, and Hong Kong to shoots abroad in the US, Canada, Europe, and beyond.
