Patrick Messina is a French photographer who at the beginning of his career shot portraits of celebrities for newpapers or magazines such as Libération, Les Inrockuptibles or Télérama. Through this work he perfected what became his style.
Patrick Messina uses a view camera, often used forarchitectural photography, which permits him to shoot, without special effects, blurriness and depth, using different levels of sharpness. This technique allows him to work in detail on the nuances of color in the images and to offer, as a painter, an individual, personal interpretation of reality.
