    Patrick King Photography was hired by the Gender, Health & Justice Research Unit at the University of Cape Town recently and exceeded both our expectations and needs. They brought a level of professionalism and expertise to the job which was refreshing and we loved the pictures that were created for the unit. We'll definitely utilize their services in the future.

Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?

A. My services continue to satisfy my clients. The dynamic angles and creative compositions of the images compel viewers to look longer.

Q. What do you like most about your job?

A. I love the fact that each and every assignment brings with it new challenges. No two days are ever the same and I love the places I travel while on assignment.

Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A. Do I travel all around the world? Yes. I've traveled to some amazing places to create imagery for clients.It's one of the perks of my job, but also makes it difficult when the assignment takes me to the rim of a volcano and there is no power supply to re-charge the batteries.

Q. What do you wish customers knew about you or your profession?

A. Not every "photographer" is created equal. These days there are a lot of "photographers" or just plain people with nice cameras. Beware of these folks trying to make a living out of their hobby. These people can often be identified by their low pricing.

The outcome: excellent!

A. I am constantly attending workshops and demos to stay up to date with the latest technology whether it be software or hardware/cameras/computers.
