Next, he founded his own design studio with his wife, Sophie. [They worked for Young & Rubicam, RSCG, Festival d’Automne à Paris, etc.] In 1981, under the impulse of his wife [who tragically disappeared during a scuba diving accident in 1999], he turned to international reporting while he actively, and for ten years, held the position of main editor in Expansion Voyages, editorial director at editions Atlas and editor at Jeune Afrique and Voyages d’affaires. He became a freelance photographer in 1991. Collaborations include magazines such as BBC Wild Life, Terre Sauvage, Animan, Aerone, Geo, Ushuaia, Voyages d’Affaires, Pleine Vie, Terra, Images Doc, etc. He has published thirty books on subjects as varied as Asian religion, open spaces, wildlife and ethnology [Flammarion, Le Chêne, Arthaud, Robert Laffont, Hachette, Atlas, Glénat, Milan, La Martinière ]. The photographs from his last books on remote peoples have been exhibited at the Maison de l’UNESCO, the Chapelle du Louvre, the réfectoire des Cordeliers, the Grande Gallerie Saint Germain, the Musée de la Médecine and the Grand Palais [Art Paris] and also all over France in Le Mans, Avignon, Massy, Blois, Albertville to mention just a few. His photographic work represented France in Qatar, during the Doh'art festival, and was presented in Venice [gallery Minelli] and Florence [villa Finaly] at the occasion of the fifty-fifth Venice Biennale. During all this time Patrick de Wilde has never ceased to also produce drawings, paintings and sculptures.“ I currently hold at the disposal of artistic partnerships fifty photographic prints 70 x 100 cm drawn upon " fine art " paper and presented in American frames.
