Discovered by the French magazine Les Inrockuptibles in 1991 while still a student at the École Louis Lumière, Patrick Messina soon became one of the best portrait photographers of his generation. Working for Télérama, Libération and Le Monde, he gained a following through encounters with the big names in literature, music and movies. In his portraits of celebrities, artists, his children and friends, or through urban and natural landscapes, his subjects revealed themselves in the face of his gentle, steady presence. With his 4×5 camera and his signature, dizzying technique, Messina enveloped his subjects with a beautiful, unique tenderness.
Wayfaring is a collection of emotions, the story of a vision that defies reason. Wayfaring is the diary of a gentle heart impressed by the magic of the encounter, expressing itself through sublime photographs.
