What I'm working on
This site is for my personal projects – if you’re looking for my commercial/editorial work, go to https://aaronpatton.net
See below for what I’m currently shooting and where you fit into my master plan.
Friends and Other Strangers
Most of what I do as a commercial and portrait photographer is try to make people comfortable and have a good time. This series answers the question, “What if I didn’t?” I take willing participants and subject them to a healthy dose of awkwardness, uncomfortable silence, strange prompts, and find little ways to push their buttons. They’re each put into the same white box and I photograph them filling that space while they wrestle with very real feelings of discomfort
This is one of my more ambitions projects in terms of scale; I’d like to get at least 300 people in for the series. If you’d like to be a part, use the “Commissions” form below, ignore the sliders, and mention “Friends and Other Strangers” in the text area.
Commissions
If you’re looking to book a personal portrait session, I take up to two commissions per month. Use the form at the bottom of the page to tell me what you’re looking for in a portrait series, and I’ll send you the pertinent information.
Magazine-style portraits.
My portraits have been everywhere from city buses to Times Square.
And everywhere in between: magazine covers nationwide, an Australian tabloid, TLC’s “Unexpected” season 4 promos, billboards all over the city, a dentist’s socks, those annoying little subscription cards that fall out of magazines…it’s been a wild ride. I have the coolest job and am living a dream I never knew I had.
