French photographer Patrick Wack was born in Cannes in 1979 and grew up in the suburbs of Paris. After a career in sports and studies in economics that took him to the US and Sweden, he left a job in Berlin to pursue in China a passion for photography, and hopes of a less ordinary life. Fully self-taught, he worked from 2006 to 2017 as a Shanghai-based freelance photographer in the fields of editorial and commercial photography. He also focuses on long-term personal projects mixing the traditional documentary approach with a more subjective and contemplative storytelling. He has published in Time magazine, The New York Times, Geo France, The Sunday Times, Courrier International and Vanity fair among others. His work has been exhibited in solo shows in China, Germany, Singapore, France and the US. He’s currently based in Berlin but splitting his time with Paris, Shanghai and Moscow.
