Photographe portraitiste originaire de Venice, en Californie, et aujourd’hui basé à Los Angeles, Pat Martin raconte comment la photographie est devenue pour lui un refuge et un moyen de recréer des liens. De sa toute première image, celle de son voisin Billy, à ses mentors, dont Hedi Slimane, il revient sur ses débuts et sur sa construction artistique. Dans cet épisode, on parle des images qui l’ont fait connaître, comme les portraits de sa mère aujourd’hui disparue, son portrait de Nan Goldin, son amour du Polaroid et sa quête d’intimité comme moteur créatif. Un échange puissant et intime avec un artiste qui a su faire de sa vulnérabilité une force.

In this episode, we discuss the images that brought him recognition, such as the portraits of his late mother, his portrait of Nan Goldin, his love of Polaroid photography, and his pursuit of intimacy as a creative driving force.
