The Owner of Trekker Heck Photography, Ryan Heck.

Ryan Heck is an outdoor and adventure lifestyle photographer.

Ryan Heck is an outdoor and adventure photographer based in Oregon. You can see his works on his website, Trekker Heck Photography. Originally from Indiana, he grew up with a camera in hand and quickly developed a love for capturing the world around him. Picking up his first DSLR only deepened that passion, turning photography into more than just a hobby.

In 2016, Ryan and his wife Heather moved to Oregon, where the coastlines and mountains gave him endless inspiration. Since then, his work has been featured in ads and brand campaigns, and he’s collaborated with companies like Kühl, Carhartt, BioLite, AeroPress, and AllTrails.

Today, Ryan combines photography and storytelling to create content that feels authentic and rooted in adventure. He also shares his experience through workshops and mentoring, helping others learn how to bring their own stories to life through imagery.

• How can you get involved in the outdoor industry as a photographer. 
• Transitioning his career from the Healthcare industry to his passion for photography.
