Ryan Tatar is a surfer and photographer currently based in San Francisco California. He grew up in Michigan, far from surf cliques, then moved to California a decade ago. His subtle grainy ethereal images have caught the attention of many on the fringes of the surfing world. His photographs are taken on fully manual equipment, most without light meters or instruments of proper exposure. More of Tatar's work can be seen at RyanTatar.com or ShakasAndSingleFins.com.
