About Larry:

  

Growing up in the small town of Ridgeland, Mississippi, Larry later studied Fine Art and Graphic Design at the University of Southern Mississippi.  After moving to Atlanta, Larry's photographic talents were recognized by the Times Journal Publications, where he and his department won several national awards in photojournalism. 

New York's Federated Department Stores were looking for a southern photographer with a New York style.  After following Larry's fashion work they recruited him to head their southeastern Macy's/Richs fashion photography department, where he photographed exclusively fashion for the next several years.

Desiring to expand his vision, Larry went on to open 'Marchant Productions' where he has produced photography and video projects for such international companies as ResortQuest International, Coca-Cola and Russell Athletic Sportswear. 

As a fine art photographer, his work is now being collected and exhibited in galleries and museums in Europe and America including The Smithsonian affiliated Booth Museum, the High Museum of Art and the Fine-Art Gallery of Turin, Italy.  One of his pieces 'Paul McCartney 1' sold in New York auction to help raise money for the Louver Museum restoration in Paris.

Larry's work has been published in Europe, Asia, South and North America. His images have been seen in Vogue, Conde Naste and Playboy.

Recently, Larry won three Golden Addy Awards from the National Advertising Federation, including 'Best Photography' and 'Best Book Design' for the coffee table book he produced for one of his celebrity clients.

Larry was featured and interviewed in 2020 by Italy's leading photography magazine, ImageMAG out of Milan, and he will be traveling to Italy in 2023 to premier his latest collection of work 'Muses and Other Goddesses'.  It is scheduled to show in Rome, Milan, Turin and Brescia, Italy before returning to go on exhibit in the USA.

"The photographs we see here represent only a bridge between yesterday and tomorrow, where the best is yet to come.  One day we will talk about his art and this new spirit will fill our minds..."  - Mose Franchi - Publisher ImageMAG Magazine - Milan, Italy
