Pat Domingo's vision captured with the SL3

Pat Domingo is a fashion, lifestyle, and documentary photographer based in Vienna, Austria, with a background in photojournalism.

Any conceivable concept can be brought to life with the right team and the right tools.

“I always think in photographs,
and I try to express these inner
photographs into reality.”

Pat's ideas for visual storytelling frequently emerge organically. Notably, the concept of integrating a chandelier into a shoot in a natural environment has been a persistent thought for nearly 15 years. He envisions positioning a chandelier in a unique setting, aiming to disrupt the ordinary and craft a visually stunning scene with the help of his team and the Leica SL3.

Before each shoot, Pat reflects on his inner vision and organises his thoughts and feelings for the moment when he fully immerses himself in the creative process with his counterpart. Bonding, communicating, and building trust are important values that help Pat work with his models and create a common understanding of the creative vision in a pleasant atmosphere.
