More about Patrick R....
What do you love about your job?
I enjoy the interactions with my subjects and capturing their moments. In a way photographers are the closest thing to time travelers as we capture a single frame that may or may not be forgotten in later years.
What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?
Events (Birthday parties, homecomings, baby showers weddings). One important factor in the industry is communication between you and the clients and it's also important to have some character within the industry as many people prefer colorful personalities.
