Professional experiences contribute to his deep knowledge in all facets of this area of visual communications, having been active in the industry during technical advances from black & white or color analog, through all the advances of digital photography.

Upon leaving newspapers, Patronite covered sports, worldwide for twenty years.

Editorial assignments, and advertising commissions have taken him to over 40 countries worldwide & nearly the entirety of the United States. Since 2000, Patronite’s attention has been on producing long-term photographic essays. Currently, Patronite is producing a long-term still photographic essay entitled “My Americana”, a contemporary visual documentation of his home country. Images, and series from the project have been exhibited in New York City; Paris, France; Trieste, Italy; Barcelona, Spain as of the fall of 2022.
