Larrys thirty years of experience in handling and photographing animals have gained him world renown. As a member of the Professional Photographers of America, he provides the highest quality images and professionalism. Larry was born in Chicago. He studied music and art in college. Upon graduating he taught music in the Miami-Dade Schools. Larry has attended workshops and lectures, read extensively, and studied photography.

He upgraded his equipment and added a darkroom in his house where he developed skills in both black & white and color printing. In November of 1979, Larry photographed his first cat show in Miami, Florida. As he studied the images and the breed standards of purebred cats, Larry became acquainted with different breeds and their characteristics, learning how to photograph the most flattering look for each breed. In addition to cat show photography, he photographed at dog shows, grooming salons, and the Fort Lauderdale Humane Society. Currently, he travels with a portable studio to shows throughout the U.S. and abroad.

In the past year, Larry has visited over 35 different major cities in the U.S., Europe, China, and Japan, as well as working in his studio in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. His primary subjects are ever-captivating cats, but he also photographs dogs, birds, horses, and even people. He has also produced travel, cat, and dog calendars.
