Photography isn't just a passion. It's an artistic way of life.

Born and raised on the green shores of Jamaica, Patrick Planter has managed to sculpt his lifelong dream of becoming an artist into capturing the reality of his own professionally picturesque endeavour, redefining his skillset as a fine art photographer and photojournalist.

His works expresses simplisticity fused with visually stimulating imagery, while  depending predominantly on originality, both in angles and composition. This element of uniqueness in composition is what distinguishes a Patrick Planter photograph from his other contemporaries.

His professional portfolio portrays his main strength: largely portraiture. But also highlights great works in abstract, landscape and documentary photography.

Notably, he includes Zacca’s work as one of his main inspirations. He is the former Membership Coordinator and Artistic Director of the Edna Manley College Photography Club.

In 2016, he made his professional foray into photojournalism when he began his career at popular Jamaican newspaper publication The Jamaica Gleaner. There, Planter worked as a freelance photographer on assignments ranging from sports and news to human interest and entertainment, before migrating to Switzerland in 2017. Planter’s photographs have been published in publications including Sunday’s Outlook, The Flair Magazine, The Daily Gleaner and The Star.

One of his accomplishments was represented in The Jamaica Gleaner which included a byline in the paper’s Arts and Leisure section with the article ‘Firmly Planted in Art’, published in July 31, 2016.

In his career, Planter has collaborated on projects with entities inclusive of The Edna Manley Foundation, where he was the key photographer in photo-documenting a compilation of pieces by world renowned visual artist, Edna Manley.
