After apprenticing for a Los Angeles wedding photography studio, Larry Brownstein began photographing weddings on his own, offering a creative new style of photography. Brownstein’s background as a photojournalist (with thousands of magazine credits), his understanding of studio lighting, his ability to see what others will miss, and his experience with fashion photography coalesce into a unique style of wedding photography.

Early in his career Larry Brownstein traveled extensively to Asia and Europe photographing the people, landscapes and monuments. Subsequently, his attention turned to the American landscape, both natural and man-made. Currently, in his personal fine art work – exhibited in a variety of galleries – he has been focusing on the people, sub-cultures and the urban landscape of Los Angeles and its environs.

Brownstein’s numerous credits include images in prestigious magazines such as National Geographic Traveler, Discover, Photo District News and Arthur Frommer’s Budget Travel; high-profile corporate clients such as Aveda Cosmetics; as well as calendars, greeting cards, corporate and travel brochures, etc. He was one of the principal photographers of the books America the Beautiful, California and Only in Los Angeles. He is featured in the book Best of Nature. Brownstein has also published two monographs: Los Angeles, Where Anything is Possible and The Midnight Mission.

He was Contributing Editor to Rangefinder magazine and frequently contributes to PC Photo, AfterCapture and other magazines. Brownstein is represented by several international stock photography agencies including Getty Images, Alamy, and Ambient Images. Brownstein has exhibited widely. His exposé Hollywood: A Live Show Daily was shown at The Annenberg Space for Photography. He exhibited in the critically acclaimed Group LA 2008, and has shown at several galleries, including a solo exhibit at the G2 Gallery that was highly praised in a review in Art Scene.
