Hi, I'm Pat.
Hi there, I'm Pat Bowden. I've been taking photos and filming things since 2013 under the handle of Patographics. In that time I've done music videos, short documentaries, photoshoots, live music video and photography, content writing, and zine printing with digital, film and polaroid cameras.
I've also worked on video, audio and social media management as part of the Retro Rehash crew - a weekly radio show at Radio Blue Mountains in Katoomba that hosted live performances and interviews from local and touring musicians, as well as artists, organisers and community members - and as a photographer and writer with the Haze Magazine crew, which was a quarterly local publication that covered arts, music, events and culture in the Blue Mountains, Bathurst, Lithgow and Penrith areas. Others include photography, video and social media management for Cherry Moon General Store in Annandale, and real estate video and editing for Lightworks Video in the Penrith and Campbelltown areas.
I'm currently based in the Inner West of Sydney, and have been photographing gigs, filming and editing, and printing photography zines since lockdown.
