Over the past few years, one of my favorite clients has been . After getting connected through my friend , I have the opportunity to photograph several events for Pratt’s Institutional Advancement unit, but nothing has been as fun as “Casting Call”.

I guess I've been neglecting this account a bit, and following the deactivation of my main IG account, it's probably time to make a real effort to share updates here.

Brief(re)intro: I'm Larry McAllister II, a Philly-based photographer creating professional portraiture, documenting wedding and events, and telling stories of everything in between.

On this account, I'll be sharing client work that I'm proud of and behind-the-scenes insights from gigs when I can.

Kicking things off, here are some photos from a lookbook session I photographed for .co a few years back. I really loved this session and will probably be sharing a bunch of posts of the amazing knitwear that I got to photograph that day.

This post is getting a little long, so I'll save some more stories from that day for when I post the other photos.

Anyways, if you're still here, shameless plug: if you are looking for a photographer for an upcoming project, professional portraits, your wedding, engagement, or other event, reach out via the contact form on my website, drop a DM, or email me at [email protected].
