My name is Patrick Gorski, I own Patrick Gorski Photography LLC based out of Chicago, IL. I am a graduate of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, I obtained a Bachelor of Arts, majored in Communication, and minored in Journalism. I am a Master of Public Administration graduate from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. My goals as a visual creator are to embed emotion into the viewers of my story. Whether
the assignment is an intimate portrait session or the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2015 Stanley Cup or the Chicago Cubs in the 2016 World Series, I strive to capture the most accurate depiction of my subjects to create an impactful and meaningful visual story that is authentic and artistic. This is a rewarding feat to accomplish, in a world of cameras being everywhere. I want to leave enduring memories for my clients.
Personally, I am equipped with Nikon professional gear and have various lighting equipment. I specialize in events and sports photography but am willing to take on any photography/videography task presented. I am available for assignments and am always seeking new opportunities. I live in Chicago, but am always seeking work where it is needed on a freelance basis.
