Josh Ryan is an American fashion photographer, based in Los Angeles, known for his work with Playboy, GUESS, and Maxim.

Josh Ryan is originally from Sacramento, but moved to Los Angeles, at the age of 21, to work in the nightclub industry.

His prime focus for each spread was to capture the beauty and aesthetics of the pictorial not only through an admiration for the female form, but also for the mise-en-scene of the production.

Since Playboy, Josh Ryan has worked closely with Paul Marciano shooting campaigns for GUESS.

He's also shot advertising campaigns for Marciano, Koral Activewear, Nasty Gal, A.Ché Swimwear, and Baci Lingerie.
