About The Photographer

Cropped larry

Larry has the mind of a scientist, the heart of a hunter, and the soul of an artist. The knowledge of his equipment, combined with a keen sense of animal anatomy and behavior, and an understanding of the value of stealth, camouflage and blind locations has led to some truly inspiring “shots”. Larry has traveled throughout North America and Canada, and extensively in South Africa, as well as sitting in a blind by his own front yard pond, on his quest for the perfect wildlife shot. His images often concentrate on the individual animal, capturing each animal’s beauty and spirit. Each framed image has a story to tell, as unique as the adventure that led Larry to that particular place and time.
