My photography and video experience with Ryan was extraordinary! Ryan captured the essence and eloquence of filming in a salt cave, in tandem with a crystal bowl, drumming and singing Sound Bath! Ryan brought professionalism, authenticity, creativity, humor and a keen inner knowingness to help bring my vision to artistic fruition. So grateful!

I can't thank Gemini Waltz Media enough for their exceptional creativity and artistic talent that elevated my brand to new heights. From innovative graphic design and eye-catching labels to engaging website design, captivating photos, and dynamic videos, Gemini Waltz Media captured our company’s vision of health, fun, adventure, and deliciousness with remarkable enthusiasm and expertise. Ryan’s passionate dedication to visual arts made him not just a service provider, but an integral member of the Alaska Probiotics team. The Gemini Waltz Media team meticulously extracted our brand values, mission, and goals, translating them into artistic concepts that not only boosted sales but also expanded our audience reach and strengthened our brand identity. Their strategic approach and artistic prowess are valuable assets for any business looking to enhance its market presence.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Ryan for a family photo shoot, and I can confidently say it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Ryan has an incredible talent for making the session both fun and effortless. He has a natural ability to connect with everyone, including our daughters, and made us all feel completely at ease. The entire shoot was filled with genuine moments and laughter, which Ryan captured beautifully. The final photos are stunning—each image perfectly reflecting the joy and love of our family. I highly recommend Ryan and Kaila of Gemini Waltz Media for anyone looking to create lasting memories with a photographer who truly excels in his craft.

We had the pleasure of working with Ryan to produce a University of Alaska Southeast, School of Education commercial, and we were thoroughly impressed with his work. The quality of the final product exceeded our expectations, leading us to hire him again for a series of videos in a rural community where many of our education graduates are employed. Ryan's creativity and professionalism truly stood out.

He was incredibly easy to work with, receptive to feedback, and always brought fresh, innovative ideas to the table. Ryan has a unique ability to connect with people of all ages—both the kids and adults genuinely enjoyed working with him, which made the filming process smooth and enjoyable. His friendly and approachable personality makes him a joy to collaborate with, and his commitment to delivering top-notch results is evident in every project he undertakes. We highly recommend Ryan for any videography or photography needs and look forward to working with him again in the future!

Working with Ryan (Gemini Waltz Media) was an exceptional experience! He captured special moments from our Tlingit & Haida canoe journey and Celebration 2024 in Juneau. Ryan made me feel so comfortable during the interview process and knew exactly the right questions to ask. The final video product blew me away! The moments he captured were stunning, and the way he pieced everything together told such a meaningful story. His work is outstanding, and I highly recommend him for both videography and photography!

Ryan Cortes Perez of Gemini Waltz Media is my first call for every video project I produce at UAS. His creativity in planning, filming, and editing shines in his portfolio of work.

His ability to connect with people both in front of and behind the camera brings that undefinable spark to every project. Simply put, people like to talk to Ryan, and in the process, open up to the camera.

In addition, Ryan is very attuned to natural environments, both landscapes and interiors; his knowledge of color and light grounds the setting in every project.

Easy going and energetic, with Ryan every project is a combination of careful planning and spontaneous opportunity once we’re on set. Deliverables are exactly as specified, and customized to the many versions needed for media placement. It’s a pleasure to work with Gemini Waltz Media on every video we collaborate on.

Having been a photographer in Seattle since the mid-80s (now retired), I have been so impressed with Ryan's energy, vision, and work. His ability to relate and connect with clients as well as his subjects is abundantly evident. It's a great skill to have; requires the innate ability to collaborate, empathize and communicate in diverse situations, and then produce remarkable work. Looking and seeing are two very different things, and Ryan obviously sees what is most important regarding his clients, subjects and work. He then brings his vision and craft to the job at hand, and produces the best possible imagery for his clients needs. That's exactly what you need from a creative. On you go, Ryan. I can't wait to see what your next collaboration will produce!

I’ve really enjoyed the collaboration that Ryan adds to his projects in communicating with partners and being inclusive in his approach to storytelling in video. The sound, color and angles for a highly professional final product shows his experience and skill, which I’ve appreciated for our shorter and longer films. I recommend Ryan Cortes as often as I can!
