Patrick Bowyer
Born and raised right in the heart of the commuter belt outside London; Patrick, after graduating from art school became interested in East London's growing club/ art scene. He involved himself at first creating flyers and artwork and then organizing art shows and club nights; which he later produced in conjunction with leading youth brands. This lead him to work at a boutique youth marketing company as junior account director for G-Shock; creating limited addition watches for the Asian market and conceiving and producing sponsored events throughout Europe.
In 2000 he took an on air position at MTV Europe. After three years he was promoted to lead creative conceiving and directing the on air promotion of MTV Europe's big events. A series of overseas directing gigs took him to California in 2004 where he now lives.
He is obsessed by; youth culture, photographing sunsets from parking lot roofs and sharks. He's great with dogs of all sizes and his big career goal is to shoot a commercial that features a really large explosion.
