Arinzechukwu Patrick is a visual storyteller, writer, and creative producer whose work bridges continents, communities, and disciplines. Based between the United States, Europe and Africa, he explores the rich textures of human connection through photography, film, and editorial projects.
As founder and Editor-in-Chief of Random Photo Journal, Patrick cultivates a photographic and narrative platform that spotlights underrepresented African stories, documenting the everyday, the poetic, and the uncanny across neighbourhoods. Patrick’s guiding lens is shaped by a Pan-African sensibility and a belief in collective memory: he is drawn to the deeper ecologies of neighbourhoods and the histories woven into everyday life. His editorial curations and commissions often ask: Who gets to be seen? Which lives are narrated? Where do we find belonging? Over time, his magazine has earned meaningful influence: it’s been featured in journals of contemporary photography, cited in conversation about African visual culture, and become a touchstone for creatives seeking stories beyond the margins.
His writing is integral to his practice. In works such as “Relapse!”, Patrick reflects on themes of identity, memory, and regeneration. His prose, rooted in lived experience, invites readers to slow down, look deeper, and question what visibility means in a fragmented world.
With each project, Patrick seeks not just to witness but to celebrate. His practice, photographic, editorial, and curatorial, strives to map shifting geographies of memory, movement, and belonging: an invitation to see the world as layered, unfinished, and shared.
