SOME OF MY PHOTOGRAPHY! I love taking photos of artists, pinups and burlesque performers! I do everything myself: creative direction, lighting, directing and Photoshop retouching, as well as sometimes make-up and styling too! I am responsible of the whole process from conception to post-production. It's all about the artistic vision of an image!! That is how I get the best and most satisfying results!

PSYCHOBILLY PHOTOSHOOT FOR THE WORN FASHION MAGAZINE
SELF PORTRAIT DONE IN MY STUDIO! No, I don't dress like that when I'm shooting on location, just in case you were wondering!!!! I just couldn't find a model at 2:00AM to shoot my idea, so I became my own model!!!! I was inspired and felt an urge to shoot something!
ALBUM PHOTOSHOOT I DID WITH COUNTERCLOCK!
Hello! My name is Patricia Chica. I'm a rock chick with a camera! People call me the "one-woman band" because I create, I direct, I shoot, I cut... from idea to end product... I am a multiskilled visual artist and storyteller. Bands and clients hire me because I have a unique and provocative style, but maybe because I'm nice too!
I am an award-winning director, producer and concept writer, as well as a visual artist and creative photographer. I presently share my time between Montreal (my hometown) and New York but I also shoot internationally. My work has been broadcasted at MTV, MuchMusic, Discovery, National Geographic, Bravo!, Oxygen and Travel Channel just to name a few as well as at numerous film festivals around the world.
..
I am featured in the first issue of webzine GALRILLA.com, a website dedicated to showcase female artists from around the world. I was chosen to represent Canada as a film director and I am also one of the visual contributors! Check it out!
I write and speak three languages: English, French and Spanish. Do not hesitate to contact me in any of those languages anytime. I also speak a little bit of Italian.
ARTISTIC APPROACH:
Since my directorial debut in 1990, my motivation has been to blur the line between fine art and commercial work. In the past decade I have been involved with Montreal's underground music scene as well as working professionally on various artistic projects that combine storytelling, alternative lifestyles and music. Driven by originality; I always try to push forward the creative boundaries of storytelling by focusing on innovative techniques for narration and daring post-production effects. However, my visual style is more than just poetic, as it is often described as gritty within a humanistic setting.
Who I'd like to meet: People who want to hire me! Other like-minded creative professionals in film, visual and digital arts, rock n' roll music, fashion, TV, advertising, photography, pinup modeling, burlesque, rockabilly and alternative lifestyles. Cool vegetarian friends who can drive and keep me stimulated!
If you are interested by my work and would like to collaborate with me, please drop me a line here.
I only do paid work, except on the rare occasions (time allowing) for indie art/music/fashion related magazines and social causes that I believe in!
YOU ARE WELCOMED TO LEAVE A COMMENT! MY FAVORITE ONES ARE CREATIVE, INSPIRATIONAL AND/OR MAKE ME LAUGH!
