About Ryan Thurmer:
Ryan Thurmer is a photographer based in Cologne. Working with both film and digital, with a particular affection for disposable cameras, he captures light, geometry, and small, often overlooked moments, where humor can emerge in the details.
He avoids staging, preferring what’s already there—unpolished glimpses of ordinary life from around the world.
