Born and raised on a horse ranch in Slovenia, Patrick was introduced to photography by his father who taught him to shoot and develop film from an early age. 

After leaving his native Slovenia at the age of 17, Patrick lived in London and later in Spain, where he attended the Lujan Perez School of Fine Arts in Canary Islands. 

After years of assisting photographers and Fine Artists in Europe, Patrick moved to New York City where he worked for several major studios and photographed for clients in the commercial, editorial and fashion industries.  
Patrick continues to live and work in New York City.
