Following Red Arrows came four commissioned books: 'The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work' (Hamish Hamilton); 'A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary' (Profile); 'Religion for Atheists' (Hamish Hamilton), all with Alain de Botton; and 'Risk Wise: Nine Everyday Adventures' by Polly Morland (Profile).

    Most recently, his documentary and landscape interpretations offered a visual narrative for another collaboration with Polly Morland in 'A Fortunate Woman: A Country Doctor's Story' (Picador), shortlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize.

    Nowadays, he works independently and on a smaller scale, pursuing personal projects that tell tales on topical or conceptual themes while aspiring to be unconventional and incongruous. As well as more recent digital work, his extensive archive of scanned film images from the mid-80s to early 2000s is online here at Photoshelter, with Getty Images (via 'In Pictures') and Alamy.

    #15 Patrick Ward - PHOTO TALK - WTF-STOP PODCAST

    Patrick Ward has photographed in Britain for the Sunday Times, Observer, and Telegraph Magazines, in Europe for French and German Geo, and in America for The Smithsonian Magazine, National Geographic Traveler, and Time Life Books. Books published include "Being English", "Essentially English", "Wish You Were Here, the English at Play", "The Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst", "The Bike Riders" and "Amsterdam".

    Patrick became interested in photography while doing National Service when a friend sent him the book The Family of Man. He started as an assistant to the photographer John Chillingworth (previously at Picture Post). His work was published in "Manplan" in The Architectural Review, the Observer Magazine, the Sunday Times Magazine, and the Telegraph Magazine.[3] In his own time, Patrick worked on a portrayal of the English at play that resulted in the book Wish You Were Here, published in 1976 by Gordon Fraser in a uniform edition with Homer Sykes' Once a Year. This was also an observation of the class divisions of England. Patrick was one of several photographers who contributed to Bill Jay's short-lived Album, and Jay credits his and David Hurn's generosity with saving him from starvation during that period.
