Patricia is a professional photographer and photography instructor living in her native city of San Diego California. She is currently owner of Expressive Architectural Photography and has partnered with “Adeline Creative” a business that helps professionals in the building trades express their brand story through her photographic services. The Photographic style Patricia has developed is a combination of influences from early photographers known for their pictorial approach defining photography as an art in the early 1900’s. She combines the art from the pictorialists, and the sharp realistic rendering of found objects “un-spoiled” by over manipulation such as the group f.64 so fondly prescribed. “I am of the persuasion that to create either realism or pictorial images we need to understand the technical principles of photography and apply our artistic expressions in a manner that demonstrates a mastery of the craft.” Patricia’s father, Ernest Briscoe he held her to the standards he achieved in his black and white prints through his studies at the L.A. Art Center School in the early 1940’s. The work of Ernest Briscoe was choreographed by Patricia and accepted by the Montana Art Gallery Directors Association, MAGDA. The show titled An Insiders View. Life in Rural Montana 1942. Dad taught respect for the profession and together we shared a love for the art of photography. Some of her early Black and White work entitled “The Search for Identity One Woman’s Way” had been juried in for a featured artist show and the individual prints have been exhibited in multiple gallery shows. Learning the art and technique of studio lighting for catalogue and product work was what she called the basics of providing a great service. Learning to communicate a marketing message, placing emphasis on what her client wants to bring attention to is key to her success. Her portrait work with children gave her the reputation of the “go to” person for artistic and timeless staged and costumed childrens’ art photographs.
She feels it is a privilege to teach camera techniques to students, and loves teaching about the language of light, which is what every photographer needs to learn to really master the visual language of photography.

“Hi Richard,
I wanted to follow up with you and let you know how much I enjoyed my photo classes on Saturday with Patty. I had a lot to learn-I knew virtually nothing about my camera. Patty broke down the basics in understanding how my camera works- aperture, shutter speed, ISO. We then hit the streets of San Diego challenging me to use what I’d learned in a variety of settings. Patty was friendly, helpful, and encouraging.
I’m off to Africa and look forward to using my newly acquired skills.
Happy summer.”

“Prior to working with Patty, I was having trouble getting my camera to focus on the primary subject and eliminating the background noise. Patty was able to quickly help me make adjustments to own my camera and show me how to capture my subject as the primary focal point of the image. This picture is one of the first results of her teaching. I am looking forward to joining Patty again for another class in the field. Thank you, Patty!”

“Thanks Patty for all your help and guidance! ”
