Patrick SWIRC

Born 1961, Montbrison, France. Lives and works in Paris, France.
After his secondary education, he integrated the Vevey school of photography, in Switzerland. Fireproof in the discipline, he  escaped very fast by love for a striptease girl he followed to Pigalle.
In Paris, he found his way in the portrait and offered his services to the press with which he collaborated regularly. He photographs anonymous and celebrities for the biggest newspapers. In Libération, Elle, Télérama, Studio, Time magazine, his portraits are published around the world. Abandoning his work of portrait, he escaped to cover with obsession the distant parts of the country.
