About Patrik Bangle
It all started when….
I first fell love with photography in the mountains above Los Angeles in 2014, capturing beautiful images from high atop the San Gabriel mountains.
I moved to Seattle in late 2016 and my love only grew from there, with all the amazing sights this state has to offer. I decided that I wanted to turn my love into my career, and offer wonderful portrait and commercial photography to those who wanted to tell a story.
Being a photographer in Seattle is an incredibly rewarding experience. The city's unique blend of natural beauty and urban charm provides endless opportunities for capturing breathtaking moments. From the iconic Space Needle standing tall against the backdrop of the Puget Sound to the lush greenery of parks like Discovery and Kerry Park, Seattle offers a diverse range of subjects to photograph. The ever-changing weather and dramatic skies add an element of unpredictability to each shot, making it an exciting challenge for photographers to master the art of capturing light and mood in this dynamic environment.
Seattle's vibrant arts and culture scene also offer numerous chances to explore different genres of photography. Whether you're shooting live music performances in historic venues like The Crocodile or documenting the colorful street art in neighborhoods like Capitol Hill, there's always something happening that can inspire my creativity.
Being a portrait photographer is an incredibly fulfilling and enriching profession. It's a unique art form that allows me to connect with people on a deeply personal level, capturing their essence, emotions, and stories through the lens of my camera. Every portrait session is a journey of discovery, where I get to know my subjects, understand their personalities, and create an environment where their true selves can shine. It's not just about taking pictures; it's about revealing the beauty, vulnerability, and authenticity that reside within each person, frozen in a single frame.
One of the most rewarding aspects of being a portrait photographer is witnessing the reactions of my clients when they see their photos. It's a magical moment when they realize how I've captured their unique qualities and the emotions they were experiencing during the shoot. These photographs become cherished memories, frozen in time, and I take great pride in knowing that I've played a part in preserving those moments for them and their loved ones to treasure. The art of portrait photography allows me to celebrate the diversity and individuality of people, and it's a privilege to be entrusted with the task of immortalizing their stories in every frame I create. Let me help you tell yours!
