Hello, my name’s Ryan. I’m 27 and I work as a Racing Data Analyst for a local media agency.
I have been working from home since March 2020 and I’ve adapted well to the new home working environment.
I monitor the company’s infrastructure, live broadcast feeds and respond to customer queries. A lot of the job is shift work, involving a mixed rota of nights, afternoons and mornings. That’s why we have to be very flexible with our working hours.
The White Star Line (a green sign on the left) was a British shipping company. It operated passenger and cargo services between the British Empire and the United States
Before COVID, I was also a keen sports photographer. I enjoyed shooting rowing events such as The Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race, Henley Royal Regatta, BUCS Regatta and Head of The River Race. I hope to get back to it soon.
My favourite place to visit is the odd Aircraft Museum. I also love going to the Yorkshire Dales, Yorkshire Moors or Lake District.
My photo editings take place within my setup, by the way. I use Adobe Lightroom and my gaming rig along with an iPad Pro to edit. An alternative option is my Retina MacBook Pro, which is more often than not stored in my work bag out of the way.
I am fascinated by WWII and the Cold War so I have a little shelf dedicated to that.
I used to be a WWII reenactor once upon a time. So I also have a few relics leftover from when I was part of an American Airborne WWII Re-enactment group. I’d say the most unique item on this shelf is the speed gauge out of an Avro Vulcan nuclear bomber.
On another shelf, I have a small collection of British Airways and BEA (British European Airways) memorabilia. There is also quite a few Concorde related items and several 1:400 scale British Airways aircraft models.
Most of Ryan’s items came from local antique auctions, vintage fairs, eBay and a large centre called Hemswell Antiques Center in Lincolnshire
I am a fan of the 1960s Mid-century modern movement along with a more vintage industrial rustic style.
The colour I chose for my walls is known as Bohemian Bliss by Valspar paints, almost military-looking green.
My desk is custom, which I built myself, out of some leftover oak kitchen worktop.
I dyed the worktop dark walnut and sealed it with varnish to finish off. I also added some black hairpin style legs.
