Patrick Esmonde has been a photographer all his life, but only in the last 15 years has he had a camera to do anything about it.  A self-described "opportunistic photographer", Patrick does not have any limits on his work or what he shoots.  He comes, he sees, he captures.  Some trends through his work, however, are abstract compositions of nature and architecture, candid portraits ("if they pose, I don't take it"), and overlooked details of our everyday world. 

Although he was trained using all manual equipment, Patrick is now shooting all digital and doesn't plan on going back.  "I don't cling to tradition, but rather to function", he says.  Part of the tradition that he still enjoys is printing on traditional photographic paper, a medium that he still feels is the best way to view his images.

All of his work is sold under the name of Esmonde Photography and a complete portfolio is available online at www.esmondephotography.com
