Master Photographers Tell You How

Patrick McMullan Celebrity, Fashion and Fine Art Photographer More Than Just a Party Picture Article rating: 7.00

Patrick McMullan is a celebrated fashion photographer, photojournalist and fine art photographer based in New York City. The New Yorker's review of Patrick's last show at the Corning Gallery sums up his multifaceted sensibility: "Even when spliced between the fashion shows and parties, his reflective moments never seem tired or strung out - just tender idylls while the rest of the city sleeps."

A native New Yorker, Patrick was educated at New York University where he majored in business and is said to have ‘minored in Studio 54’.  It all began when Andy Warhol encouraged him to carry a camera everywhere he went.  Today McMullan is asked to be everywhere and is considered both an invited guest and a member of the press. 

"My definition of 'paparazzi' is that it isn't a very viable form. It just allows for so very little interaction. Me, I shoot people who I talk to. I'm more like the bar mitzvah photographer. I'm a social photographer who takes photos of people I see along myway."

- Patrick McMullan

In the early 1980s Patrick began taking pictures of the scene for Details Magazine with writer Stephen Saban.  As an avid chronicler of New York life 24/7, Patrick's social ease at parties has made him an important part of any event and very much an insider of what he chronicles. "Patrick McMullan, a ubiquitous partying WeeGee, is doted on by those he turns into bold-facers." (The New York Times) In addition, McMullan’s studio has evolved from a one-man operation into a comprehensive, digital imaging studio with a team of seasoned shooters.

Patrick's work appears in regular columns in New York Magazine, Vanity Fair, Elle, Ocean Drive Magazine, Harper's Bazaar, Interview, among others. He has published two books of fashion photography, "Secrets of the Riviera"  and "Men's Show" .  

2001 was a creative milestone for Patrick: In January, the Tony Shaffrazi Gallery staged an exhibition of photographs selected from Patrick's recently published books,

In 2002, Patrick had continued success with two gallery exhibitions: one entitle, "New York Character" at the Steuben Gallery on Madison Avenue and followed by "Patrick McMullan: Color Photographs" at the Alpan Gallery in Huntington, New York.
