CONTEMPORARY PHOTOGRAPHIC ARTIST

Larry Brecker, a New York native, is a life-long photographer. His interest grew while traveling extensively in Europe during his medical school training in Geneva, Switzerland. With his medical degree in hand, Brecker chose Tucson for his internship and fell in love with Arizona. 

Four years of dermatology specialty training in Oklahoma introduced him to pathology and the importance of subtle differences in detail, color, and texture, which is crucial for diagnosis of skin diseases. He learned to look at the big picture; then to dial into the microenvironment. Throughout his forty years in practice, he isolated problem tissue and examined it under the microscope for diagnosis. In his art, he isolates with his camera and dials into the subject on the screen to reveal its subtle essence. 

The body of work at Brecker’s Town of Paradise Valley Solo Exhibition shows his evolution and transition through various  photographic techniques over the last 20 years. 

Brecker’s newly released photographic art book Desert Inspired will be available for signings at all shows this year.
