Hi, I’m Kelig Patinec, a travel, landscape and portrait photographer.
Two years ago, I left France on a sudden impulse, a quiet pull toward something unknown.
No plan. Just a one-way ticket to Australia and the feeling that my life needed movement, freedom and meaning.
I didn’t know then that this journey would give me my purpose.
Somewhere between the red desert of Uluru, the salt-filled wind of the Pacific and the strangers who carried stories in their eyes, I picked up my first camera.
At first, it was curiosity.
Then it became something deeper. A way to slow down, to breathe, to understand the world through light and emotion.
Photography didn’t just show me how to look.
It taught me how to feel.
What moves me most is capturing pure, honest emotion, the spark in someone’s eyes, the quiet strength of a landscape, the softness between two people.
Seeing someone truly connect with an image I create… that’s the moment I feel alive.
It’s more than a craft.
It’s connection.
It’s sharing something real.
My work today is shaped by movement and stillness, by adventure and sensitivity, from dramatic storms over Australian deserts to gentle portraits in natural light, from wild coastlines to vibrant cities across Asia.
I’m based between France and Australia, but I’m ready to travel anywhere in the world to tell a story through images.
I’m available for:
• Portraits & couple sessions
• Event & wedding photography
• Creative & commercial projects
• Travel & landscape commissions
• Fine art prints
If my work resonates with you, I’d love to create something meaningful together, something true, human, and alive.
