Piece description from the artist
While looking out over the nightscape of Shimla, India from the porch of my hotel, a convoy of pristine, white, classic cars pulled up below. From inside their cabins arose a very large family of colorfully dressed Indians, in full traditional Indian dress with flowing reds and yellows. Some of the most beautiful kurtas and saris I'd ever seen. I watched from the porch and followed them from my window. It became apparent that on that night, the premise of my hotel was to house the coming together of two souls, an Indian marriage.

Ryan Mitchell brings you the world—from Himalayan mountain villages to Haitian streets. His photography is an attempt to bring “home” that which is exotic and seemingly unreachable, while showcasing the common humanity and shared existence between cultures near and abroad. He hopes that, through his imagery, viewers can see themselves among the mountains, the smiles, the agriculture, and the human experience and thus foster a collective reality across myriad cultural divides.
Ryan wears many hats: full-time firefighter paramedic, anthropologist, world traveler, humanitarian (he served in Haiti two weeks after the 2010 earthquake), musician, and photographer. He most recently took the grand prize as well as the prize for landscape photography in the USF World International Photography Competition.
