  • Patrick Michael Chin

    Patrick has been interested in the arts for as long as he can remember. After first mentioning an admiration for photography to a friend in college, Patrick was gifted a 35mm film camera in 2005 and roll by roll unknowingly stepped closer over the next decade towards making that hobby a career.

    Since going full-time with photography in 2014 Patrick has become obsessed with perfecting his craft and, sometimes to a fault, often enjoys the process even more than the result. Specializing in capturing elevated and idealized moments Patrick shoots a wide-ranging number of subject matters with a common thread of warmth and light throughout. Having spent many of his early professional years working in the studio, Patrick’s strobe experience is often showcased on location for a unique approach to mixed and motivated lighting.

    Patrick is based in Winter Park, Florida, where he lives with his wife, three children, and a sweet Golden Retriever.
