ABOUT ME
Greetings, My name is Patrick Murphy II My story starts on the front porch of our annual family Thanksgiving gathering in Spring City, Tennessee – listening to my Uncle Carlos spin webs about his youth.
The timeless human image – an older man guiding the pack of youngsters, slack-jawed and enthralled by his illustrious tales and lessons, is the beginning of my lifelong enthusiasm for quality storytelling. Combine that with my Dad, Patrick Sr., and his education as a Journalist, and you could say my path was paved early. I cut my teeth with a Canon Rebel XSI while trekking the labyrinth of trail systems that weave along the ridgelines of the New River Valley.
After earning my Associate Degree from New River for Communication, I attended Virginia Tech as a student of Multimedia Journalism.
My focus as a creative started with my love of print writing, which serves to inform the composition of my visual stories and photos. Behind every subject in frame, there is a story to be told.
“Awesome to have Patrick Murphy stay at P&E’s Riverfront and capture some photos of our place on the Rappahannock! Highly recommend for any photography needs! Super professional, easy to work with, great communication, and stellar end result!”
