Urban Landscapes is about capturing the heartbeat of a city. Cities like Chicago are more than just a space people live; they have their own personality. This is true of every city: Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas, DC, Baltimore, etc. My job is to take the pulse and tell the story.

Street Photography for me is more about the people in a city or town. I like to find a moment that is fleeting and beautiful.

It has been said that Journalism is the first draft of history. If that is true, I am proud to have been a footnote with a byline over the decades with my photography. I am very proud that the CTU has my photos in their permanent archive. It says to me that I told the story well.

Fine Art is a space where I stretch, create, and innovate. It is a personal journey. But when a piece is sold, it feels like I am intertwined into the fabric of that person's life. One of the greatest honors I have is when a photo I have taken becomes a part of someone's home or office.

Portraits and Headshots is where all the disciplines converge. When you are in my studio or on site with me, storytelling, art, decisive moments, and understanding the mood all exist in the shoot with one goal: To take a photo of you that has never been taken before.

"I've had photoshoots with Pat Green doing the two things I love best: reading my poetry and trying on hats. In both instances, he captured something about myself I've never seen before but that I recognized.
At the poetry reading, he caught the relationship between me and an audience, something I've never seen from the outside though other photos have been taken of me at readings over the years.
And at the hat shop he captured the magic that I feel, and it's so very clear that I'm absolutely rapt. I'm so grateful that these photos exist and grateful to Pat for taking them. "
