    I hired Fenix Fotography to shoot the marketing and advertising photos for my music career as VIO. I felt so comfortable during the shoot, and everything came out natural and professional. His guidance is remarkable, and his skill seems effortless. Ryan is such a gifted artist and has a keen eye for making photographs into masterpieces. I always get compliments on any of the photos he has taken of me, and I always rave about how amazingly good he is!

    I can't wait to work with Ryan again! The nicest photographer in the world with the best eye!

    If I could give Fenix Fotography 10 stars, I would! Highly recommended!

    I first met Ryan of Fenix Fotography when I was asked to do hair for SEEN Uptown Magazine. I also had the opportunity to work with Ryan on several other shoots including one with Elevate Lifestyle. Ryan is professional and definitely knows what works for fashion shoots. He's so nice and very focused on getting the best shot for you.
    I look forward to working with Ryan again in the future. And if you need the best shot...call Ryan at Fenix!! He's the best!!

    As a manager / DJ of many night clubs in Charlotte,  we found the event photography services of Fenix Fotography to be second to none in the region. His style was unique and different and he was always on time and professional. On major promotion nights--such as MTV-reality shows, fashion shows, and celebrity events in partnership with HBO--Fenix was our first choice. Also, When I needed personal shots for my music marketing, private events, and advertising shots of my motorcycle, he was the photographer I trusted and as expected he did an awesome job. Fenix is always creative, and sees with eyes that many can't seem to match.

History

Established in 2003

Ryan Sumner doesn't remember not being an artist. At first it was graphite, charcoals, paint--lots of and lots of paint. He received his first real camera at 15 years of age--a 1970's SLR with three inter-changeable lenses. He was hooked.

He entered the professional arena after college as a digital restoration artist and exhibition designer for the Museum of the New South in Charlotte. Retouching standards for museums are highly stringent. Sumner honed his craft on some of the greatest photographs of the last two centuries.

Sumner established Fenix Fotography in 2003. Early clients included local magazines, ads for businesses, and modeling agencies. Soon, he quit his day job and quickly became one of the Charlotte's most sought-after photographers and the fashion director at Uptown Magazine--the city's most prestigious monthly.
