I was born in Ajaccio-Corsica-, in 1976 and I lived in Nice untill 1998 In 1995 I started to work on stills and motion pictures on the French Riviera. I studied Art History at Nice University, and worked with Ari Marcopoulos on the Burton Snowboard catalogue in 1997. In 1998 I went to Paris to shoot people (Peter Beard, Sebasto Salgado, Enki Bilal, JCC, Orishas, Xuly Bet..) Then I moved to London in 2000 where I have been established for eight years, freelancing for photographers such as Mert+Marcus, Ellen von Unwerth, David Sims, Mario Testino and more recently Venetia Scott or Robert Erdmann. I exhibit some of my personal works at the Westbourne studios in 2003 and briefly at Sketch London last october, Recently I have filmed several short movies in the fashion field including a project for the London Design Museum and in 2008 I shot a campaign for Canon that will be shown around most european fashion weeks. contact : info@patrickigonet.com pat@patrickigonet.com
