SnapCon
SnapCon was a photographic, performance and video portraiture event that took place at Shine Portrait Studio April 7- April 9, 2017. In portrait sessions with Rutgers University-Newark students, regionally- based cosplayers expressed their characters, who they are behind the “mask” and why cosplaying is such an important part of their lives. Working within the tradition of endurance performance-based art, the event was non-stop for 48 hours. Unlike instant photo booth pictures, each person or group had a two- hour dedicated time-slot.
Public Radio for All (PRFA) Co-Op
On November 1, 2017, Patrick’s photography team staff created portraits of over 40 DJ’s for a public radio station. Prior to the event, his team had several meetings with director, Brittany Jade, to discuss photographic styles to publish their portraits on social media. During the event itself each portrait session included three different settings, with approximately 30-40 minutes dedicated for each individual DJ. Photographers worked in groups throughout the nine-hour duration, under the direction of Anthony Alvarez and Nick Kline.
