CAPTURING LIFE. CREATING ART.
Images can take us back to our childhood. They can be daily reminders. Or inspiration. The stories we sit down and tell the next generation are captured and preserved in the pictures we have. And although we can't always remember the exact instant the picture was taken...they can transport us back to how we must have felt, or what someone meant to us, to the sights and smells of a particular place and time. Pictures have a way of touching us in very direct and personal ways that other forms of art rarely do. At it's finest photography captures life's special moments and preserves them for the future.
ON LOCATION PHOTOGRAPHY
Patrick Dunn : Photography is an "On Location" photographer. We do not have a studio. And we like that. Because there is something special about shoots that happen on location. No two shoots are ever the same. Every location brings something different to the dynamic - as does each subject. And if the location has a special meaning for or gives a deeper insight into who the subject is...something magical can happen.
I am interested in getting to the heart of who you are. And I find that shooting on location lends itself to people being casual and intimate in ways that I don't believe a controlled studio environment always encourages. When we all show up on location we are not always exactly sure what is going to happen. But that spontaneity is part of what we are striving to capture. Those surprise moments that happen in every location shoot are the ones that will be especially unique to your experience - and will create the images that your children's children will return to again and again.
