About Me
My full name is Patrick Graham, and I am a 24 year-old interdisciplinary artist. I have been studying photography of 7+ years, and my body of work is comprised and concentrated in fine-art portraiture. I started my photography journey at the beginning of my senior year of high school, beginning at local car meets with an old DSLR, before gradually transitioning to other genres including portraits and sceneries.
I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of North Texas, with a degree in Studio Art and concentration in Photography. My work extends to both digital and analog methods, of which are used interchangeably between projects that demand certain approaches.
I had never initially sought out photography as a means of expounding on my artistic abilities, but the mere idea of capturing and immortalizing a space in its stillness was one that I’ve found intriguing as I’ve progressed my artistic studies, and I seek to be able to visualize unique and individual spaces by means of direct and specific control of light within my work.
Among some of my personal interests, I enjoy being active, studying varieties of music, art galleries, traveling, and learning from historical examples of art.
Artist’s Statement
My work concentrates itself within conceptual-based portraiture, illustrating scenes of ephemeral, contemporary spaces that exist separate from the boundaries of reality. My work stems from real-world phenomenon such as space, nature, and the world around myself, of which I use to convey the experiences and reflections of my being, as an artist, into narrativizing my work in images that eternally preserve the spaces I make.
