About Patrick Patton

I love people and all the wildly inspiring things they do; fashion and music in particular. I’ve always been a photographer. As a childe, I took pictures on my grandpa’s Polaroid. My mom took my brother and I to have rolls from disposable Kodak cameras developed at the 1-hour photo. Later, I got my hands on a Hi-8 video camera and made a series of stop-motion sketches using modeling clay. In high school, I became the editor of the “Investigations” page of the Crimson Chronicle, my high school newspaper. I spent little time investigating, as most of my time was spent wandering the halls of my school with a camera taking photos of fellow students. As a young man, I worked as a production assistant for production companies like Disney Channel, M3 Television, Epoch Films, Hungry Man, and JMZ. I have also worked as a camera and lighting assistant to several Los Angeles commercial and fashion photographers. I established my photography business in 2015 and since then was awarded first place in an international fashion photography contest, spent some time working as the in-house lead fashion photographer for New Face Fashion Magazine, learned on set as a camera and lighting assistant for several well-known working fashion photographers in the Los Angeles area, and had many fashion editorials published in various publications, including Ellements Magazine and Pump Magazine. ​You can view my photography portfolio on my website:
