People who make you realize that you don't know shit: Larry Lourcey

In 2007 Larry Lourcey is a master photographer, in fact he has a degree from the Professional Photographers of America stating precisely that. Larry's attention to detail is visually poetic. He has the ability to capture an entire story in every frame in the same fashion that a poet captures one in every line. This particular image is a great example http://lourceyphoto.com/gallery/?album=1&gallery=6, it is thought provoking, mysterious and leaves so much to the imagination. I love the composition of this image for the same reason.

In portrait photography it is especially important not to waste a single pixel. Everything inch of the photo needs to speak directly to the personality of the person being shot. This photo struck me with its fresh take on capturing attitude and depth http://lourceyphoto.com/gallery/?album=1&gallery=2.


Check out his whole 40 @ Forty collection it is fearless in its exploration of different styles, genres and toasts to other artists and photographers. Truly an inspiration for portrait photography. It makes me wish that I could paint, but whatever, "when life gives you lemons, say fuck these lemons and peace out". Oh, he can play piano too. This shot has such awesome ecclectic textures and style. I love this guy.

Larry Lourcey, I toast you for helping me realize that I don't know shit about portrait photography.

Thank you
