Washington Staff Video Production Camera Crew

Ryan Brower

DP — Washington, DC

You know you're in great hands when Ryan Brower is on your shoot. A seasoned video professional, he brings a calm, confident presence and deep technical expertise to every shoot, whether it's news, sports, documentaries, or anything else. He's currently based in DC but frequently travels the northeast and is ready to roll on your next production. My Sony FX9 is my primary camera, but I shot on the Sony F5 for years before making the switch. I have experience with most of Sony's lineup; the FX3, FX6, FS7 but I'm familiar with nearly every brand of camera though; I've done a lot of work with the Canon C300mkII and have been lucky enough to shoot on REDs and Arris. My light kit is extensive, with my Nanlites being my main workhorses, and my Astras getting some use when I need something more portable. All of these are LEDs so they don't take up nearly as much power as older models and don't produce as much heat. A lot of the work I do takes me into a very fast-paced environment. Sports, entertainment and of course the news and political work that comes with living so close to the nation's capital mean that I have to be ready for anything at a moment's notice. Though I do really enjoy the types of projects where I have the time to really craft a look. So whether it's setting up a news hit an hour before we go live, or setting a documentary interview the day before we shoot, I'm your man. I've been with Go To Team for 8 years now, but I freelanced for a few years before that. This past year I've shot lots of podcasts! I've gotten to work on a lot of episodes of Angie Martinez IRL which is always a blast.
