Introduction: My name is Patrick Crosby and I’m a Metro Detroit, MI based portrait, event, and lifestyle photographer!
I gained my appreciation for the arts at the age of 7 through drawing cartoons. Through the years, my role and talent as an artist grew and changed forms. I dabbled in graffiti, poetry, graphic design, music, film and video, and even tried painting for a brief amount of time! Photography was an unexpected surprise.
I picked up the camera on a whim and started to capture any and everything. After a while, my friends and family began to notice my photos and saw something in me that I had yet to see. My passion and talent for photography!
I can say that being a film major in college trained my eye but what drives my eye is poetry. Visual poetry. My goal is to capture and present the true essence of people, objects, and moments through photography. To freeze precious moments and spirits in time is not only tremendously fun but an honor and reward. I want people to feel my work, not just see it. I hope that when people view my work they experience what I sought to capture. I want them to lose themselves in the stories I tell.
In my free time, I practice Muay Thai Kickboxing, play pick up football, play board games, hike, travel, exercise and socialize with friend and family.
