“In a photograph, I believe that emotion is everything”

The winner of a Bronze Pencil at The One Show (2008) ,the premiere international advertising award show (NY), for his Volunteer Wildfire Services “One Cigarette” Campaign, Patrick’s continues to dominate the news and advertising space on a regular basis.

Enjoying the immediacy of photography, Patrick’s images are sometimes described as “darkly humorous, sometimes disturbingly sensual but always intriguing”
“His work can elicit responses that challenge the viewer to stop and wonder about what’s tucked away in the corners of his or her own mind.”
