Pat Welsh, the founder of Welsh Media Productions, has been taking photographs since 1977. With a Kodak Instamatic camera in hand he photographed everything that moved. Always one to hone and perfect a craft, he sought out varied and visually intriguing images.
He was now on a life-long journey. Studying composition and aesthetics at the Ohio Institute of Photography in Dayton, Ohio catapulted him on his current path: communicating ideas, information, and concepts into the digital imaging mediums.
Not long after graduating, he went on to produce a video series called Feline Features. This was a series of tapes designed for cats to watch. The publicity generated landed Welsh a spot on CBS News, the David Letterman Show, Current Affair, Telemundo, and the New York Times. “I produced those videos totally as a gag, but when people began ordering them by the box loads I saw how powerful television communications could be,” says Welsh.
He worked in motorsports production with Diamond P Sports in St. Petersburg, Florida. Programs were edited live with five cameramen capturing all of the action.
Welsh Media Productions, Incorporated was formed in Fort Lauderdale, Florida  with its’ mission to provide creative digital services to their clients. This is a small production house that works with a creative collaborative team. Commercials, public relations, documentaries, and social events were and continue to be the main focus. Covering motorsports in the South Florida area is also one of their specialties. A dramatic video clip of a rear end separating from a 2000 horsepower funny car at the once-in-a-lifetime event Autofest 2000 in West Palm Beach, Florida was featured by the FOX Network.
The documentary Wilderness 99 highlighting a solo week long 100 mile kayak expedition in Everglades National Park is their latest creation. Welsh carried a digital video and still camera with him in a tightly packed kayak to capture all of the experiences that he had while out in the Everglades. His photography has been published in National Geographic Adventure and South Florida Adventures magazines among others.
