AT DARIEN SPORT SHOP

Apr 21, 2008

Ben Larrabee%u2019s photos on display in an exhibit at the Darien Sport Shop celebrate local fathers, such as this photo he took of the Martindale family of Darien.

Local dads are being celebrated in Darien resident Ben Larabee’s fine art portrait photography exhibit now on display in the men’s department at the Darien Sport Shop through Father’s Day.

Since 1997, Larrabee has been creating images of families that aim to reveal the inner spirit of his subjects and show those memorable “moments of grace.”

“I don’t photograph the way people look,” said Larrabee. “I photograph their energy. I see with the camera and it’s the seeing which leads me.”

With a background in photography and design, Larrabee began his formal studies at the Rhode Island School of Design where he studied with world-renowned photographer Harry Callahan. He continued his studies at Yale University where he earned a master’s degree. His work is in many private collections, as well as the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts, the High Museum in Atlanta and the George Eastman House in Rochester.
