HIRED GUNS

JOSEPH PATRICK, PHOTOGRAPHER

Born and raised in Nashville, Joseph wanted to be an artist, went to school for engineering, and ended up becoming an artist anyway. With many fire art shows under his belt, he finds himself toeing the line between creativity and commerce. Often found with his head in the clouds, he says the only thing keeping him from floating away is the years of physics claiming it’s improbable. Influenced by photographers such as Carrie Mae Weems, Tim Walker, and Herb Ritts, Joseph aims to merge imaginative storytelling and physical beauty with surreal and absurdist ideas.
