As an avid first class athlete himself, Pat Branch knows what it takes to make the best shots come together. Downhill and cross country mountain biking, bmx, snowboarding, skateboarding - Pat rides it all, and brings the athlete's passion and perspective to his work. Whether it means scaling limbless trees with his camera equipment on his back, contracting poison oak, or hauling extra equipment up and down the trail to capture that perfect shot, Pat's motto is "Let's go!!"

Pat is a recent graduate of Santa Barbara City College where he majored in photography, while also studying graphic design and marketing. His background in graphic design dovetails perfectly with his photography, enabling him to organize all the elements within the frame to complete a photo's end goal or look. Pat is currently based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
