The RacerShots Crew
Ryan Muncy | Ryan Muncy Photography
Ryan is a freelance photographer who had an early start in the pursuit of the photojournalism field. Ryan grew up with artist parents in Syracuse, New York. He received a BA from State University of New York College at Buffalo in 1994 studying Journalism, Public Relations and Advertising. A life-long passion for cycling and photography, taught him to see the world in a different light. Ryan has had a camera in hand for most of his life in one way or another. He captures images with a documentary, yet artistic style with a photojournalistic sense. He describes his look "as if images were taken out of the news pages from long ago -- often gritty, and just shooting from the hip”. Ryan adds, “ I enjoy showing the way I see the world around me captured in images that are only a fraction of a second frozen in time ... people, music, sports, events, editorial, unique portraits, and even emotion through photography." Ryan is now posting only 4-10 shots per race in a small facebook album, although he has hundreds from each race. Please inquire directly to Ryan about shots he may have taken of you, by offering your name and race category, team or bike description. Contact Ryan for photographic work or prints.
Brent Murphy | Brent Murphy Photography
After a number of camping trips out west when I was younger, I knew I needed to spend my life in the mountains. In 1998, I made the move from northeast Ohio to Denver. For the past 24 years, I have spent my time here as a hiker, photographer, architect, husband, dad, bike rider and eventually bike racer. I spent a number of years traveling around the Rocky Mountains as a landscape photographer. When I began bike racing, I brought my passion for photography with me. After a couple years spent shooting my own team during the times I wasn't out racing myself, I am now enjoying spending the days out on course photographing all the racing action.
When I'm not shooting bike races, I photograph high school sports for MaxPreps, as well as handle all kinds of portrait photography.
Shawn Curry | Green Curry Photography
I've had a love for photography since my teens. I began formally developing my photographic skills working in a darkroom throughout high school as well as later college photography classes. I nearly switched from biology major to fine arts-photography but science won out for foolish financial reasons.
My research career was intellectually rewarding, but photography has been my passion. After thirty years or so as an amateur photographer, I started shooting professionally just over a decade ago.
I hope you enjoy my images as much as I enjoy creating them!
Terri Irsik | SPORTSHUTTER
Terri is a Colorado native who grew up in the small farm town of Brighton and now lives in Ft. Lupton, Colorado. She is an avid cyclocross racer, working on a comeback, Nordic ski racer and soccer coach and when she's not racing you can find her out shooting pictures, cheering, and heckling other racers.
Terri's photos capture the personality of the racer, the intensity of the moment, and the enthusiasm of the atmosphere. Terri has been a photographer on assignment for National and World Championship races and has been published in sports magazines nationwide. For photographs or assignments, please contact Terri at her Sportshutter email.
Tyler Phillips | Tyler Phillips Media
Tyler started to be more passionate about photography during high school when he was able to work with both film in a darkroom and digital cameras. He is now in college at CU Boulder studying media production to further his skills in both photo and video. After college, Tyler hopes to continue working behind the camera.
Tyler decided to mainly take photos of cycling because he races XC, road, and gravel and it was fun to race and then take photos when he first started. He found that his racing background made it a little easier to anticipate where the riders would be and how they will act to get a better photo.
