​Lauren Ratkowski Photo

It started when I was young. Teddy Bears and my puppy all lined up on the living room couch. With my mother's Olympus point-and-shoot film camera, I shot my first photograph.

 

Thousands of frames later, I'm now presenting myself and my work to the world.

 

In the last three years, I have jumped head-on into concert photography, where I've had the pleasure of shooting for bands like Flogging Molly and No Doubt.

 

Currently, I am a commercial photographer's assistant working primarily in Orange County. Additionally, I work as a staff photographer for Concert Guide Live, a publication focusing on live acts between Los Angeles and San Diego. I am also available for freelance projects, such as weddings, events, product and lifestyle photography. 

 

I'll shoot anything I can point my camera towards and won't stop until I have the perfect shot. And even then I probably won't stop.
