Larry Kuzniewski
Photographer Larry Kuzniewski moved to Memphis in 1974 from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to open a commercial photography studio. Shortly after setting up shop downtown, he began shooting images for the upstart publication, then called City of Memphis magazine. Since that time, he's shot more than 80 covers, making him the most prolific cover photographer in this magazine's history. Though he's been an integral part of the magazine for nearly 30 years, his passion for the publication never waned, and his vision has helped shape the look of the newly redesigned magazine.
