Patrick Joust
Patrick Joust is a photographer and librarian who lives in Baltimore with his wife and two children. Born in Oroville, California, Patrick has gone back and forth between both coasts of the United States, before settling permanently in Baltimore. He takes pictures whenever he can. The people and places of Baltimore have played a central role in his photography, influencing how and where he points his camera both within and outside the city limits.
How to be an Introverted Photographer
Engaging strangers on the street through photography can be intimidating, especially if you are introverted. This presentation will talk about some of the rewards and difficulties of walking around with a camera and photographing people from the perspective of someone who took years to get sort-of, kind-of comfortable and is still trying to figure it out. Rather than thinking about how being shy/reserved is a hindrance we’ll talk about how perhaps it can facilitate a thoughtful approach to the act of engaging with others. In this time of increased loneliness and isolation, can photography help?
