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.
