My name is Patrick Fleming and I’m a photographer and videographer based in Shanghai, China.
Panrui 潘睿 is my Chinese name.
In school the only subjects that could adequately compete with my imagination were the social studies. Said imagination has been dominated by film and visual mediums and the desire to be behind the camera. Here I aim to intersect those passions.
Why China? My decision to be here has always been grounded in humanism. I want to understand the world. China is only the first step in my life outside my native USA.
Collaboration with other creatives is my goal. I wish to meet all types of those who seek to explore and create. Please reach out if you like what I’m doing and maybe we can make something together.
A bit about me
Photo
My photography focuses on exploration as well as portraiture.
Exploring landscape, street, long-exposure and so on,
these are personal moments collected while exploring new places and experiences. Considering they are a range of genres I simply categorize them as Exploration. Selected photos are available for printing. Read the stories behind them, and inquire here for prints.
Portraits are a
means of connecting with varied and interesting people, not just for commercial purposes. Browse some examples of my portraits here. If you want more information, inquire here for portraits.
My videography work focuses on exploring the world both broadly and in detail.
Personal Work
Small World is a travel documentary project and a primary focus of my time and attention. Follow along for tips, guides, and exploring different cultures.
