Hey there! I’m Ryan Costigan, though most call me Costi. I’m a travel photographer, videographer, and content creator with a passion for capturing places in a way that makes people want to pack their bags mid-scroll.

I grew up with a camera in hand. Friends called me “Kodak Costi,” and by high school, I was known as the guy who documented everything, not just for the memories, but because I genuinely loved telling visual stories.

When the time came to choose a career, I followed a more conventional path. After earning a degree in Marketing, I spent 13 years building a successful career in technology sales. It was stable, high-paying, and by most standards, a great life. But I couldn’t ignore the pull toward something more creative, more adventurous — and ultimately, more aligned with who I am.

In early 2024, I took a leap. I left my job and set off on an 8-month solo journey through Central and South America. That trip reignited my love for photography and storytelling. I wasn’t just capturing images — I was capturing energy, emotion, and a sense of place.

Now, I’m solo traveling through Southeast Asia, collaborating with hotels, resorts, tour operators, and travel brands to help them tell their stories through compelling, high-quality content.

My work is rooted in creating visuals that feel intentional, elevated, and human, whether it’s showcasing the peaceful charm of a boutique stay or the pulse of an off-the-grid adventure. I aim to create imagery that connects with audiences and inspires exploration.

Whether you’re here to hire me or just got lost on your way to book a trip, welcome! I’m stoked you’re here.

Cheers!

Ryan
