I’m Patrizia Montanari, an Italian photographer, born and raised in Milan.
I grew up surrounded by my loving family, history & art, and delicious Italian cuisine. My summers spent in southern Italy taught me to appreciate la dolce vita – the sweetness and elegance of the simple life – and a deep appreciation for beauty, community, and storytelling. Through my global travels – from New York to Amsterdam, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Dallas, before settling in Portland, Oregon – my perspective has broadened and my eye widen.
Inspired by the people and places I’ve encountered, my creativity transitioned from portrait and figure painting to photography. Portraits remain my true passion – capturing the essence of individuals and their stories.
My photography business has thrived through word-of-mouth, encompassing portraits, fashion, products, and food for clients worldwide.
In 2018, I launched my eponymous clothing line, Patrizia Montanari, a gender-free, size-inclusive collection featuring comfortable, elegant designs.
As a visual storyteller, I remain curious about human connection, social culture, fashion, and capturing beauty.
Join me on Instagram, where I share snapshots from my global adventures, captured with my trusty Fujifilm X100T, Nikon Z6, and of course my iPhone.
Growing up in Italy has given me an appreciation for beauty IN THE SIMPLE THINGS
AUTHENTICITY IS BEAUTY.
MAKING MY SUBJECT FEEL COMFORTABLE ALLOWS ME TO CAPTURE CONFIDENCE THROUGH MY IMAGES.
