Patrick spent most of his childhood years away from the city, having been raised mostly in the Canadian countryside. From the time of his birth, his experiences in nature was to become a large influence in affecting his ultimate passion for the beauties of the natural world. His love for the arts has grown throughout the years, and he attributes his devotion to interpreting nature in an artistic manner to his parents’ participation in the arts. His father, Joseph, was a professional photographer during a period in his life and his mother, Michele, was gifted with artistic talents such as drawing, painting, and interior decorating. Her fine eye for details was a big influence on his perception of nature. As he started reading everything he could get his hands on  about photography, he quickly realized that this was an art form that would enable him to express his inner feelings about the world around him. The soon became an insatiable desire to record the beauty of nature. The camera soon became the perfect medium to express his true inner feelings.

The crux of his search was found while visiting the magnificent Gaspe Peninsula. On a   warm Fall morning he approached the summit of Mont Ernest LaForce and discovered the breathtaking views spread out before him. At that point he knew this was it! Nature was calling his name loud and  clear.  This  was  a  magical moment  that he  will  remember  forever. The  art  of  photography had now turned to a true passion. Patrick has set his goals to always improve his craft. His quest to become a better photographer will never cease. He personally think that the learning curve is endless, and he has only himself to  criticize  when he  feels that he is  not  living  up  to  his  artistic endeavors. Constantly  searching for   those  rare   magical moments when the Perfect Light embraces nature in all its glory, you can  rest assured – that this is only the beginning of a long and dedicated quest to capture the breathtaking beauty of nature.
