Country Life & Field Sports

From shoot days and fishing to the wider life of a private estate, Patrick photographs the people, animals and occasions that bring the countryside together.

Having spent several years managing a private country estate, he understands the organisation behind a day in the field and the importance of fitting into its rhythm. Working discreetly around hosts, guests and staff, he creates a personal record of the day, attentive to both the shared occasion and the quieter moments.
