Artful Realist

My name is LARRY VINCENT. I'm a writer, speaker, photographer and lovable nerd based in Los Angeles. When I'm not writing here about things that inspire me, I look after The Brand Studio at United Talent Agency.

Nature Photo Assignment, a set on Flickr. Inspired by photographs I saw in a hotel on one of my many business trips, I decided to shoot some closeup nature images. This assignment served a dual purpose. First, it kept me occupied on a week of vacation. Ask my wife. A few days with no work and I turn into a basket case. Second, provide some wall “art” for the bathrooms in our home. I gave myself a few rules for this assignment: Only 24 exposures. No more. No less. I wanted to make every frame count like we had to in the old days when it was a roll of film in the camera. Plan for square crops — because that’s what my wife wanted for the framed finished product. Shoot for B&W prints — I exposed to purposefully get some sharper contrast.

Jordan's Journey


When my daughter Jordan was diagnosed with a rare brain tumor in 2003, our whole family began a journey that has led us through many unexpected twists and turns. I write about this ongoing adventure and the girl that is my muse here.

Me ... in brief

More than twenty years doing the brand thing (where has the time gone?) A lifetime of writing. Adventures in Hollywood. And plenty of snaps along the way. Read more and laugh/cry.
