Robert Larson

Raised in Los Angeles, California; Robert Larson began working as a small town newspaper photographer in 2007 while learning his craft and thinking about a future as a documentary photographer. In subsequent years, he traveled the world, volunteering abroad with non-profit organizations such as Mercy Ships, The Red Cross and J/P HRO. It wasn't until after documenting the death of his grandfather in 2009, that he decided to focus on personal photographic essays and story telling - rather than single images. Robert is represented by Getty Images; his work on The Food Runner won first place in PDN's 2014 The Look and his images have been featured on The New York Times LENS Blog, Photo District News Emerging Photographer, Los Angeles Times and Lenscratch.com.
