Work trusted by:
Most photographers are excellent with a camera.
They are less excellent with a brief.
You have worked with photographers who needed more direction than the talent. You have been delivered images that were technically good and commercially useless.
You have had to explain what "on-brand" means three times in the same meeting.
Or worse, you have to reshoot, costing time and money.
That is the problem this studio exists to solve.

What People Are Saying
“The quality of Patrick’s work is only matched by his professionalism, working with him! Patrick shot photos for the business I’m part of and absolutely knocked it out of the park. Highly recommend.”
— Chris Sharp | Manager of Content & Social at Petco
“Awesome to work with. Patrick is flexible and communicative, super friendly, and a great photographer.”
— Cynthia Wang | Art Director at VeSync/Cosori
I'm very glad we found Patrick. He and his team expertly executed a complicated photo and video assignment involving multiple shooting locations, professional models, drone footage, and even horses! Our client was blown away by how professionally the production was managed and––most importantly––the results of the shoot, describing the finished product as a "GRAND SLAM." We couldn't agree more. I look forward to our next project with Patrick.
— Nick Nieto | Principal, Framework Creative
