A Journey Behind the Lens
Larry’s passion for photography began early, guided by extraordinary mentors who didn’t just explain the “how,” but also the “why.” Their thorough teaching left a lasting impression, and today Larry carries forward that same approach.
Over the years, his own work has:
Earned awards and recognition
Been featured in exhibits and publications
Taken him to fascinating places across the Americas, Europe, Latin America, and Africa
But Larry’s greatest reward? Seeing his students meeting and exceeding their own photography goals
Teaching the Way He Learned
Photography isn’t just about settings, it’s about vision. Larry listens carefully to each student’s needs and goals, tailoring lessons so you learn exactly what you need to grow. From mastering manual exposure to understanding composition and light, his hands-on approach ensures you’ll never feel stuck in “auto” again.
“An excellent course. Larry has a wealth of experience and does a great job.”
— Student, Dartmouth College
Many of Larry’s students have gone on to win awards, exhibit their work, and even become professional photographers. Others simply create stunning family and travel images that capture the essence of the moment. Whatever your goals, your success is Larry’s focus.
