ABOUT
I'm Pat, a commercial photographer based in the DC Metro area.
Capturing the quiet stillness amidst life's chaos, I thrive on adventure and relish being a problem solver. Decisive and always up for a challenge, I find joy in continuous learning.
My visual journey began in the back of our family station wagon, wind tousling my hair as the world whizzed by—a memory etched in my mind. Little did I know that my early encounters with photography, documenting plant failures and corrosion issues during my engineering job, would blossom into a lifelong passion. Venturing into professional photography for the past two decades, I cherish the pivotal career shift I made.
Having traversed the globe as an engineer, my educational background and professional history have cultivated a keen eye for detail and an affinity for the technical facets of photography. My work encapsulates the essence of spaces and objects, manipulating available and supplemental light sources to inform the room and convey the mood. I believe patience and skill are paramount to capturing the subtle nuances often overlooked by others.
Collaborating with a diverse clientele, including commercial entities, architects, designers, stylists, and creators, as well as shelter publications, has enriched my creative journey. Noteworthy names such as Marriott, Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Pella Windows & Doors grace my commercial client roster. Publications include Architectural Digest, House Beautiful, Better Homes & Gardens, Good Housekeeping, Real Simple, HGTV Magazine, USA Today, Ladies' Home Journal as well as numerous digital outlets.
