About
Hi, I’m Patrick Strattner, a Los Angeles-based photographer specializing in People & Conceptual Still Life photography. I was born in Nuremberg, Germany, and grew up in a small town in Franconia before studying photography and design at the University of Applied Sciences, Bielefeld (FH Bielefeld). After spending years living and working in Berlin, I made the move to Los Angeles in 2011, trading the urban landscape for California’s sunshine and creative energy.
My photography blends precision with creativity, resulting in clean, conceptual images with a bold use of color, lighting, and strong composition. I love transforming everyday objects and scenes into compelling visual stories – whether through environmental portraits or conceptual still life. My work often carries a cinematic feel, with refined minimalism and a touch of playfulness. When photographing people, I focus on authenticity, capturing them in their natural surroundings. My still life photography, on the other hand, incorporates elements of humor and surrealism, turning the ordinary into something unexpected.
For me, the most exciting part of what I do is the creative process – from brainstorming ideas to bringing them to life. I’m always looking for fresh concepts to explore and new ways to push my work forward. Let’s create something great together!
