Award-winning international fine art photographer, author, workshop leader and human rights champion. Major exhibits in LA, Spain, Italy, Hanoi.

Based in Los Angeles, and since 2006 have also been working as an artist in Vietnam for many months at a time. My fine art degree is from the University of Louisville, and I also studied photography independently with Ansel Adams. As a professional artist, I've exhibited for many years in the US, Malaysia, Italy, and Vietnam, and I've taught photography in continuing education programs and workshops, mentoring hundreds of students (I continue to teach photography in person and online.) My work in Vietnam also includes raising money for a micro-loan program in Vinh Phuc Province that serves thousands of poor rural women’s startup businesses. A portion of the sale of each art print in the Vietnam collection or my book goes as a donation to that program. I’ve had other careers in my life. I was a pilot and the founder and president of the Bellanca - Champion Club, providing technical support to over one thousand owners of those two aircraft brands. I was the successful co-plaintiff in a landmark U.S. Supreme Court Fast Track decision involving civil liberties for minorities. I had a 31-year professional music career as a bassoon player for three major American symphony orchestras. I produced black and white art early in my career, using large format cameras to make traditional images in the darkroom, while also pursuing my symphony career. Before the new century I’ve embraced color and have been entirely devoted to fine art photography, my earliest and first love.Artist working across the world in several countries.

Gaaaa....Learning by Doing

09/28/2026

Machines stop. Buildings weather. Paint fades. But traces of movement remain.
In Remnants of Motion, I took the scarred and discarded surfaces of the everyday world and set them loose from their original purpose. Fragments overlap, lines wander, and solid objects begin to dissolve into color and gesture.
What was once functional becomes something else entirely—not an object to be used, but an experience to be seen.

Nature’s Perfection

We draw lines. We make maps. We label, measure, classify, and try to impose order on the world.

And then nature carries on.

In Nature’s Perfection, I layered the delicacy of water plants and reflections with traces of the human-made world—text, grids, diagrams, lines and fragments that seem almost archaeological beneath the surface.

Yet nature refuses to stay within the boundaries. Color erupts. Forms overlap. Lily pads float freely through all that imposed geometry.

Perhaps perfection isn't order at all. Perhaps it's the beautiful, unruly complexity we find when we stop trying to control what we see.

Decisions, decisions. Getting ready for an art show puts an artist under pressure to choose wisely. What do people want to see? A range of ideas or a theme? Lots of color or more muted? Big or small? Join me at the Beverly Hills Art Show October 17-18, booth 339 to see what I bring!

Atmospheric Memory
Photograph by Lawrence D’Attilio

A landscape appears—and then begins to disappear.

Water, earth, mist, and vegetation hover at the edge of recognition, dissolving into luminous fields of yellow, coral, violet, blue, and green. Larry’s layered photographic process transforms the physical landscape into something closer to memory: a place reconstructed not exactly as it looked, but as it might have been experienced.

There is something almost elemental here, as though we are witnessing the landscape in the process of becoming—or remembering what it once was.
