Celebrity Photography by Patrick Hoelck (NSFW)

Patrick Hoelck didn't begin his career as a photographer. In fact, he refers to his primary occupation of the past six-and-a-half years as a "grateful accident." Hoelck began as a youngster in New York City working in the music video world during what he calls the "rap era."

Patrick Hoelck’s photography resonates because his darkness does not hide, pervert, destroy, or malign. Instead, it emboldens, signifies, nurtures, resurrects an individual for who they are: sexuality and celebrity status are consequential of being human—of being a man or woman, actor or actress, singer or musician, model or cult personality; glamour and attitude are consequential of one’s pride and self-respect.
