Meet Tony Patryn: Our Resident Photograher

He is many things: actor, brother, uncle, Godparent, artist, philanthropist, pugilist, prestidigitator, and other words that start with ‘P’. An artist since he could hold a pencil, Tony has been drawing for over 30 years. He created Patrynize when he was but a wee sixteen year old in high school, designing posters for plays and other school events including redesigning the school newspaper. From there, it was off to college at Westwood College of Technology where he obtained his Associates Degree of Applied Sciences in Graphic Design and Multimedia in 2002. He then attended Columbia College of Chicago for a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Graphic Design in 2007. Following in his father’s footsteps, he recently took up the family business of photography a little over two years ago and has photographed such high profile people as Joel McHale, Justin Tuck, Erica Mena, and Po Johnson.

We had such a fun time shooting with Tony at the High Line. Stay tuned for more from him.
