Today we’d like to introduce you to Larry Price
Hi Larry, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
in 2003 I read a photo magazine that featured the work of John Running. John’s images moved and inspired me. I contacted him and his invited me to his gallery and studio in Flagstaff, Arizona. I made good friends with John and he mentored me for many years. I lived on the Navajo Nation near Monument Valley, Utah where we had amazingly beautiful landscapes and people to photograph. John’s advise to me was always burn film. I was using a 35mm Can0n camera back then. I made friend with Sam Minkler, a professor at Norther Arizona University. Sam taught many things about photography. These two men helped get where I am today.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
It; has been a smooth road. I get to photograph who I want and when I want. I only take on projects that I feel good about. Camera equipment is expensive and that has been my challenge to obtain some of the equipment I need and want for the craft.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
my work can be seen at www.nativephotographer,com. I am post proud of my portrait work. Many can be seen at my site. My landscape images aren’t online but I do sell prints of that work.
What are your plans for the future?
I plan to embark on a 5 year project titled Indigenous Faces. I want to travel to as many Native communities as possible to photography people in their lives. I would like to create a large coffee table book and exhibit large prints.
