Baby Ryan's Grown-Up Adventures Are Playful Photo Composites

Ryan was born nine weeks premature weighing under three pounds. He spent six weeks in the NICU. For his parents, it seemed to last forever. When his sister was born over two years ago, their dad photoshopped her playing sports as an infant. That's how he decided to do something similar for his son. Although things didn’t go according to plan, they didn’t let it slow them down. The proud dad came up with the idea of doing a photo shoot of baby Ryan appearing in activities associated with adults.


People seemed to love the pictures. Most found them funny, but there were always a few people that feared for Ryan’s safety. The father said the apparent danger was created through Photoshop and that Ryan was supported during the photography. The finished scenes are composites; they show the father’s imagined adventures rather than activities the baby actually performed.

The joke depends on an impossible casting choice

A baby cast as a grown-up makes an ordinary activity suddenly absurd. The joke works because the viewer recognizes the task while knowing that Ryan could not perform it. His father had already explored that idea in sports composites with Ryan’s sister. Repeating it with a new family member gave the pictures a shared visual language: familiar activities, an unlikely participant and editing that brings the imagined scene together.

The family’s history gives the joke its affection

The hospital stay gives the series a tenderness beyond the visual joke. After six weeks in neonatal care, imagining Ryan in grown-up situations offered his father a playful way to picture life ahead. The composites do not need to be mistaken for real activities to carry that feeling. Their affectionate exaggeration comes from placing a very small family member in a world of tasks, interests and adventures still far in his future.
