About me

I'm Ryan Potts (Rynos), a Canadian Director and Director of Photography based in Guangzhou, working across Shenzhen, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Macau and the rest of Asia.

For 20+ years, I've worked behind the camera on commercial, fashion, brand-documentary and narrative films. The brief sets the look: the precision of a product launch, the texture of analog film, or the space to let a real person tell their story.

Recent work includes cinematography for the vivo X300 Ultra campaign and Tiiny AI Pocket Lab. I've shot brand-documentary series for Huawei and the Macao Government Tourism Office with BBC StoryWorks, and directed and shot a portrait of CiGa founder Zhang Jianmin for Business of Design Week.

I'm English- and Mandarin-speaking, with a vetted local network built over 15 years. Bring me into your production as DP, or work with me directly to put the crew and shoot together on the ground.

Send me the brief, the location and the dates. I'll share the work that's relevant to yours.
