Fun Facts about Patric, Photographer in Geneva

I thought you might like to know a bit more about my persona before our first contact!
When we meet at your photo session, be prepared to telling me some of your own fun facts. : )

5 LANGUAGES

I am perfectly fluent in English, French, German, Italian, having fun at any dinner party.
Swiss-German is my mother tongue, but then does this really count as a language?

Diploma Work

For my final work in my Bachelor of Fine Arts I worked closely with the legendary Claude Nobs, founder of the Montreux Jazz Festival to design for Atlantic Records the DVD to celebrate their 50th anniversary. My work included content, UI and cover in a time when I had not yet seen a DVD-player! Going through the archives was an absolute mind-blowing experience then, even more now since it has been discerned Unesco World Heritage.

MENTORING

I have been mentoring several professional international photographers to also reach the associate status in the Headshot Crew.

MATCHA, NO COFFEE!

I stopped drinking coffee cold turkey in 2013 after ending in the ER. Despite having been a total coffee aficionado, I have never touched a single drop since. Now, I have that obsession with whisked matcha - a longer-lasting caffeine hit with the bonus of the mood-boosting theanine as well.

Relax in front of my lens

I am known to make everyone feel at ease in front of my camera. offer a laid-back, serene atmosphere during any photoshoot. I read your energy, your body posture and apply my techniques to get you in the zone of the confidence.

NFL & THE SUPERBOWL

The National Football League flew me and my then-girlfriend straight from college to New York for a job interview as art director. We got picked up by a limo, put in a suite overlooking Central Park! What a first stay in Manhattan! Alas!, I was too junior and too European to fit into this all-american favorite.

SURFING & MORE …

Nothing made me happier than when my daughter started surfing and sharing wave after wave with me! Who knew a girl would be ripping more any boys! Else, I love all outdoor gliding sports where you can feel the wind caressing your skin: wakesurfing, paddleboarding, cycling, snowboarding and skiing. Currently, I enjoy riding my longboard along the lakeside.

YogA, Anyone?

I have been teaching yoga for nearly 20 years, learning directly from the first pioneering teachers.
That’s why I give you great tips on your body posture even during your headshot session!

Guest Lecturer

I share my extensive knowledge to Bachelor and Master students of the SAE Film and Gaming Institute to help them understand the process of strategy, creative solutions finding.
