Patrick Swirc

Patrick Swirc was born in Saint-Etienne and studied at the Vevey School of Photography in Switzerland before following a striptease artist to Pigalle. In Paris he began making portraits and worked as a press photographer, including journals such as Libération, Elle, Télérama, Studio and Time Magazine. Since abandoning that work he has pursued his obsession with distant parts of the world.
