RICARDO LOZANO

About

Studio photographer in Los Angeles and Orange County, California specializing in Beauty, Cosmetics, and special projects for global brands. 

Some key brands I have been working with recently include The North Face,  Nike, Converse, Lululemon, Urban Decay, Hourglass Cosmetics, Kate Somerville, Retrouve, Queen Musia, Reverie, Ranavat, Valde Beauty and many more.

Hi, I'm Ricardo Lozano, and I'm glad you're here. I got my start in studio photography in 2011.  Since then, my work has taken me all over the country before settling back down in Southern California. In my spare time I enjoy drumming, skateboarding, and making short films. When I'm not in the studio I'm at home with my family or out in the garden. 

Together with friends, I created A Love Token Press (ALT), an independent publisher of art and photography. In 2020, I opened A Love Token's studio for photography commissions and art projects. In 2023, the space is booked for photo shoots as well as very limited private events in Huntington Beach, California. I have a traditional approach to my photography but my experience in design and art direction allows me to pull from a wide range of disciplines. I'm shooting skincare and cosmetics full-time, but am always interested in new creative endeavors like spirits and hospitality.
