Laurence Agron is a self-taught photographer whose work defies categorization. He excels in scenic, landscape, travel, cityscape, and macro-photography, even as he dazzles with his vast collection of celebrity shots.    

  Agron could best be termed a photo-journalist. He benefited from a wide-ranging academic education, including graduate studies in International Relations. He successfully combined lengthy, detailed, and informative dispatches with photography, while a Jerusalem-based correspondent. His unique media meld garnered the Seeff Award, a prestigious Israeli prize, for foreign correspondents, in 1988. His Israel collection from his 4-year stint in the late 1980s is substantially augmented by additions from yearly visits, and runs the gamut of societal, cultural, political, scenic and celebrity images.

   Larry Agron has mounted several one-man shows over the years, including two unusual Chicago shows from the early 1980s. One was the first large-scale exhibit (nearly 200 photos) of female bodybuilders. It even
included live posing events which were widely covered in the local media. Another was a controversial one, entitled "Politicians and Comedians," employing photos of women mud wrestlers for editorial comment.

   Agron's published work dates back to the mid-1970s, and he has been represented by several leading photo stock agencies. His work has been seen in numerous journals, periodicals, and educational showcases. He currently shoots primarily with 35mm digital cameras, and occasionally with film, including medium format.
