Artist Bio.

 

Patrick J. Hovan (b.1991) is a versatile visual artist renowned for his expertise in fine-art, fashion, and portrait photography.

My photographic philosophy is rooted in the art of storytelling and visual poetry. With each click of the shutter, I aim to craft narratives that transcend the ordinary, stirring emotions and kindling intrigue. Through the manipulation and sculpting of light, as well as utilizing both analog and digital mediums, my goal is to create artwork that transcends beyond the veil of reality and takes the viewer into the realm of dream. Whether capturing the extravagance of fashion, or the raw beauty of a portrait, my approach blurs the boundaries between painting and photography, resulting in photographs that are both captivating and thought-provoking.

With a rich background in creative/art direction, commercial studio photography, and extensive experience in the fashion industry, I bring a wealth of expertise to every project. Having been featured in prestigious publications such as Vogue Italia and entrusted with lead photographer roles for high-profile events like New York Fashion Week, I am committed to delivering exceptional results. Since returning to my roots in Cleveland, Ohio, I've been honored to be recognized on β€œThe Hubs: Top 30 photographers in Cleveland.” Today, I continue to reside in Cleveland, serving a diverse clientele both locally and nationally, with a passion for creating compelling visual experiences that leave a lasting impression.
