Larry Louie

Larry Louie lives in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Over the last couple of years, Dr. Louie has used his photography as a platform to high light the work of different charities around the world, along with other social issues and challenges people are encountering in a world facing rapid urbanization and globalization. He wants to engage people in inspiring stories of perseverance and strength, not only of those who have found themselves caught in such a plight, but also amazing individuals and organizations that are lending a helping hand. He hopes his photographs will be able to tell the stories and make a difference, and to reveal light that is found in the darkest of places.

Larry’s award winning photographs have appeared in the Asian Photography Magazine, Digital Camera Magazine, British Journal of Photography, B&W Magazine, National Geographic and National Geographic Traveler Magazine. His work have also been exhibited around the world; from the Royal Geographical Society of London, UK to the Circle of Fine Art in Madrid, Spain, to the Center of Photography in Charleston, South Carolina to the Pendulum Gallery in Vancouver, Canada to the Royal Alberta Museum in Edmonton, Canada.

Larry’s passion for his art is fuelled by those who push the boundaries. For him, it’s photographers Sebastião Salgado and Josef Koudelka, and musicians Kate Bush and David Bowie. Music has always been just as important to him as photography. So has another dream of his—being the lead singer of a band. Larry is going after this one too- if it ever gets off the ground, his Junk Punk band will be called Scary Larry and the Phoropters.
