Meet the Photographer: Ryan "Fenix" Sumner




Ryan ("Fenix") is the second photographer to join FF. He will be available to those PALS in and around the Charlotte area who are able to visit his 2nd floor studio in the Historic district.

What Fenix has to say about his work:


With studios located at the heart of Charlotte's Historic NoDa Arts District, Fenix Fotography specializes in artful photography for weddings, business, and fashion.

In addition to my individual and corporate clients, I'm a photographer at Uptown Magazine for artistic editorial, events and sports.

In December 2007, VH1’s The Shot sponsored an online contest for wedding photography. From 1,281 entries, one of my bridal images received both the highest number of votes (801) and the most views (1,866) world-wide.

I was a staff photographer at Elevate Magazine from February 2005 to August 2006--a publication to which I still sometimes contribute photography.

My work has also been seen in numerous other regional and national publications, advertisements, and calendars. Most recently for the Charlotte Checkmates professional cheer/dance team and for Innoseal's national magazine advertising campaign.

The Light Factory Contemporary Museum of Photography and Film included my photography on their walls in exhibitions of Charlotte–area artists taking place in 2006 and 2007.

In 2006, Maxim Magazine selected 3 models, on the basis of my photographs, as finalists in their nationwide 2006 “Hometown Hotties” contest. The photos were featured on the magazine’s website.

My work as a photo-retoucher/historic photograph restoration artist (2000-2006) appeared in Newsweek Magazine, AARP Magazine, and over thirty museum exhibitions—including one in South Africa.
