Hi, I'm Lawrence Costales
Venice Masks
My first award-winning photo was a military image of a sunset through camouflaged equipment. My latest travel photographs are from my tour of duty in Kuwait in support of the US Army at Camp Doha and Camp Arifjan. During my one year there, 2003/4, I was also able to travel to Italy and Dubai, UAE. Some of my earlier works have been displayed at the ARCO Towers in Los Angeles, US Embassy in Bogota, Colombia, Galleria Nina Moreno, Tijuana, B.C.,
The Temecula Art Gallery(TAG), El Encanto, Monterey Park, 2003 and various small shows throughout Southern California. My last big show, 'Images from Near and Far', was at the Corona Public Library, 2006, where 32 of my images were displayed. Currently a few of my images can be seen at the Monterey Park Bruggemeyer Library - 318 S. Ramona Ave., Monterey Park, CA 91754
The majority of my Travel Fine Art images were shot with a Mamiya 645 and my Head Shots with a NIKON F4 and Canon Digital. Currently shooting with my Sony SLT 65 DSLR and I captured some excellent Koi images.
I have worked with digital images since 1998 when I was in the Marine Corps and used an early AGFA 1.8mp camera. I tend to shoot very little film and instead view the scene in my head and take the image after I spend some time with my subject. My Fine Art photos reflect images that have effected me emotionally. I hope you enjoy them and they have a positive effect on you also. You can view a video of my tour in the Middle East at
