Student Profile: Ryan Hopkins

Ryan Hopkins is a senior studio arts major originally from New Jersey and Danville, CA

"Unlike many photographer's, I don't have a story of picking up my first camera at 3 years old, instantly falling in love. Photography fell on my lap, on accident. I had the choice to take painting or photography, and I don't have the patience for painting. Little did I know that it would turn into a passion, that almost never exits my brain. I'm always thinking of crazy ideas that have an extravagant factor, i.e. I can't afford it or I don't know how to do, yet I always come out with something that is cohesive with my original idea. I learn more every day, venturing out to try new techniques and I enjoy it even more than I could have ever imagined."
