Larry Singer

In 1971, college-freshman Larry Singer approached a local concert promoter for permission to take concert photographs for his column in a small-town newspaper. Little did he know that, a verbal agreement and handshake later, he would have unrestricted access to countless rock-and-roll musicians that would later be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame! Two years later, he was recruited to shoot for Circus magazine and his images were being picked up for mass-market posters and promotions―and he gained access to shoot at concert venues and festival around the country. In the ensuing years, Singer shot photos of The Who, Bob Dylan, Deep Purple, The Rolling Stones, Van Halen, Alice Cooper, and many more. In this book, he takes readers behind the scenes with stories and photos from his favorite performers and concerts.

Larry Singer’s book on the Bonnet House inspires readers to create their own nature photo safaris. Each chapter of the book features examples of the fine art nature photography Larry has produced on the grounds of the Bonnet House Museum and Garden in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Singer explains the techniques he uses to provide image viewers with a sense of location, document the nature found there, and create fine art photographic images.

Each chapter features extraordinary examples of fine art nature photography, along with full technical data for each image. Techniques for photographing birds, reptiles, insects, flowers, and miscellaneous plants are each presented in a separate chapter in the book. Singer also explains how quality images can be made using inexpensive equipment—a point that he proves repeatedly in showing readers just how he used his gear to create outstanding images.
