Saint Augustine has captured my heart with its enchanting history. The allure of its old city districts in the ever changing light never ceases to enchant me. Each narrow street has its own stories and secrets to tell all bearing the marks of time. The ancient rock walls, intricate iron gates, and weathered wood balconies that adorn narrow streets are like pages from a forgotten tale, waiting to be re-imagined. Each corner offers a wealth of intriguing subjects, beckoning me to lose myself in the art of exploration through my lens. It's in these moments that I find myself truly grounded and completely immersed, embracing the journey of discovery with open arms.
With over 30 years of experience as a working photographer, understanding my clients' intentions and the purpose behind each image was paramount to my success. This insight guided me in placing emphasis effectively, whether it was for selling a product, igniting marketing desires, or encapsulating a specific brand identity through imagery. Each photo was meticulously crafted to achieve a particular goal, a skill I now bring to Patricia Bean Photography School. I guide students through a thought process that enables them to see like an artist providing immediate results in their work. I help students place emphasis effectively, ensuring their photographs communicate their unique perspectives. Join me on a journey where creativity meets strategy, and together, let's unlock the full potential of your photography.
What People are Saying.
“Patricia was a great teacher and was able to be flexible for people with different picture taking experience.”
“We had the best time with Patricia. She walked us through storytelling with our photographs versus just taking photos.”
Misty Lizarralde
Instead of taking an “I was there” photo, Patricia shared great insights on how to capture the mystery in a location. I’ve been a lifelong photographer, but she showed how the slightest adjustments in camera placement can really make a difference.
