About Patrick

Patrick Rojo is a Halifax, NS based Canadian photographer. Patrick's influence comes from an early age when he was given a film camera by his grand-parents, although a hiatus with photography later brought him back with a passionate pursuit in landscape photography. Patrick is becoming nationally known for following in the footsteps of Steven Wilkes with day-to-night photography composites. His passion to travel and capture beautiful landscape photography sees him travel more than staying still. On top of being a self-sufficient travelling photographer, Pat is a talented Photoshop user and his dedication to learning photo-software through free educational tutorials has gained him recognition by The Canadian Broadcast Corporation and Nikon Canada.
