Seamus Ryan is a photographer, born in 1964.[1]

He learned the basics of photography in Dublin, and came to London around 1990.[2] He has done work for among others Nike, BBC, and British Airways.[3]

Ryan performs "Sunday shoots", where he opens his studio to passers-by who wants him to take their picture. On one such occasion he photographed playwright Tom Stoppard, and the picture was purchased by London's National Portrait Gallery.[4][5]

In 2007 he founded Boothnation, a company that supplies custom-built photobooths for rental.[6][7][3]
