Karl Larsen started his career as a resident photographer with the House of Blues. He was then brought in to open the House of Blues in Las Vegas were he took over 2000 photographs a week of both the shows and the patrons, honing in on his skills of catching the moment with people in low light conditions.

Larsen’s skills were quickly noticed by numerous music publications such as “Mean Streets” and then soon by “Rolling Stone”. His consistency for anticipating the shot has had Rolling Stone sending him on assignment nation-wide and as of recent, internationally.

“I believe they choose to send me… because rather than worrying if I got the shot, they just need to worry about what shot they are going to use.” “I am truly more at home wedged in a pit between 50,000 crazed fans and a 120 decibel rock band then I am in my own living room. It’s extremely difficult to break my concentration under those conditions.”

His coverage of bands from Aerosmtih to ZZtop has been sought out by other major publications including Us Weekly, Blender, Entertainment Weekly, People and Billboard magazines as well as signing licensing deals for his photography with record labels and manufacturers of musical equipment.
